Wear Red Road Race

Published on April 2, 2011

Runners all dressed in red leave the Queen Charlotte Armouries in Charlottetown Saturday morning for the Wear Red Road Race in support of the troops and military families. These were the 10 kilometre and five kilometre races, but a half-martathon was also run from the Pownal Sports Centre to the armouries. Organizers said there were about 100 runners registered, but because of the nasty weather the children's run was cancelled. The event was hosted by the P.E.I. Regiment.

Thank You George Hughes!!

I had a flat tire on the way home, just past Poole's Corner. When jumping on the tire iron still failed to budge any of the wheel nuts, I called Debby's cell (I had gotten her number before I headed out on the course in case any of the runners had trouble. Little did I know it would be me calling that number later in the day, thinking maybe I could borrow her husband.....) As it turned out George answered and came to my rescue. By then I had done enough jumping on the tire iron to finally loosen the nuts and George had me back on the road in no time. Thank you so much George! - janet
