KENSINGTON -- The first annual Halloween Hustle fun run and walk has been deemed a huge success.
Overall, a total of 81 runners and walkers, not including dressed-up dogs, participated in the five-kilometre event in Kensington.
"Running and walking are activities for the entire family, including the four or five puppies who participated," commented race organizers Ronda Bellefontaine and Lynne Anne Hogan.
Overall winner
Tyler Seller, who was registered in the male 17-and-over category, was the overall race winner in 16:45. The male 16-and-under winner, Dakota Cameron, was second overall in 17:46.
In male 17-and-over, Steve Reeves was second in 19:17 and Alex Bain finished third in 19:53.
Sandy Carson-McGuire was the first female runner to hit the finish line in 21:55. She was followed by Bonnie Smith in 22:04 and Janice Ployer, who stopped the clock in 22:06. All three ran in the female 17-and-over group.
