KENSINGTON -- Jen Nicholson of Cornwall set a new female course record in the 35th annual Community Harvest Festival 25K Road Race here Saturday morning.
The 39-year-old school teacher, who’s currently a stay-at-home mom, stopped the clock in one hour 42 minutes two seconds (1:42:02), good enough for 11th overall. She was one second shy of knocking three minutes off the previous 26-year-old record of 1:45:01 that was set by Jane Beairsto of Sarnia, Ont., in 1982.
Mike MacKinnon, 35, of Miscouche was the overall race winner in 1:32:22.
A record field of 68 runners participated.
