Published on April 23, 2011

There is a hill just west of the Queens Arms corner on the Trans Canada Highway in Charlottetown that has been the near downfall of many runners over the years. It was known simply as the Wandlyn Hill to runners as far back as the 1970s when an motel of the same name was located part way up the hill. That motel is gone, but to many runners of a certain age the hill is still the Wandlyn Hill and Saturday during the Source for Sports Spring Bunny Hop the hill once again played havoc with some runners. The event, with is the unofficial start of the spring road run season, attracted more than 200 runners for the 10 kilometre and five kilometre run.

"Registrations are still being collected and processed but at last 374 people participated in the “I Run – I Walk for IWK” to benefit the IWK Health Centre Foundation at the new Charlottetown Running Room Wednesday night. The IWK was gunning to beat the opening night record of 401 participants set by Toronto and claim victory as the “running capital of Canada” Registrations were still being collected. Regardless of the outcome, it was an amazing turnout and show of support for the IWK and for the strength of running and walking on the Island.

About $5, 000 was raised at the event. "

Before the race Leo gave me his official yellow Boston Marathon
long sleeve shirt
and Dianne gave me the poster.
Thank you!
(Alex put the poster down, outside, at Sporting Intentions. If you picked it up, please let us know.
Scott Clark has brought Alex a poster from Boston the past few years. Knowing Scott wasn't running Boston this year, Leo and Dianne
both made sure Alex had his Boston Marathon 2009 keepsake. Alex was rather upset to discover he'd lost his poster.
Thanks you two, Leo - the shirt is not only his colour but it's his size too! Pretty special...)
