SUMMERSIDE - Scott Clark of Linkletter was the top overall finisher in the premiere Three Oaks Farmers Helping Farmers Run on Saturday morning.

Clark finished the 10-mile event in one hour one minute 19 seconds (1:01:19), making it his first first-place finish this season.

"I feel great," Clark said as he sailed over the finish line. "It was a beautiful run that really showcased Summerside."

Jennifer Pizio-Perry of Greenmount was the top female for the 10-mile run with a time of 1:10:04.

"It was a good, wet run," Pizio-Perry said. "I had never run the Summerside boardwalk before."

Top male and female runners for the five-mile run were Paul Wright of Central Bedeque at 34:38, and Eva Strongman of Linkletter at 41:54.

The course took runners along the boardwalk, Confederation Trail and through the streets and parks of Summerside.

"It was a beautiful run that really showcased Summerside." - Scott Clark

Clark is currently preparing for the upcoming P.E.I. Marathon that happens in October.

"Sixteen kilometres (10 miles) is a good distance to get you ready," he said.

Clark has a personal goal of two hours 50 minutes for the P.E.I. Marathon.

Pizio-Perry also has the P.E.I. Marathon in the back of her mind. She said that if she gets a few more long-distance runs in over the next three weeks she would strongly consider attempting her first full marathon.

"I have a lot of work ahead of me," Pizio-Perry said with a smile.

Work on Summerside's artificial turf multi-use sports field is expected to be complete by mid November.

Construction of the field, situated north of Willow Avenue adjacent to Credit Union Place, began two weeks ago.

Also being constructed are three tennis courts and two beach volleyball courts located south of Willow Avenue, also adjacent to Credit Union Place.

Summerside's chief administrative officer Terry Murphy said another area has been set aside for possible development of a second artificial-turf field.

The entire project, being constructed for the 2009 Canada Games, has an estimated price tag of $2.9 million.

Contracted to do the work is Charlottetown-based company, Island Coastal Services, with funding from the three levels of government along with the Canada Games Host Society.

Triathlon plans underway for Summerside event


Triathlon plans underway for Summerside event

JASON SIMMONDS
The Journal Pioneer


SUMMERSIDE -- A multi-sport event will be held in Summerside on Sunday morning, Aug. 3.
The Summerside Triathlon will feature a 750-metre swim in the Summerside Harbour, a 20-kilometre bike ride over a looped course and a five-kilometre run. The start and finish lines for each leg will be at the same location on Harbour Drive.
"That is called a sprint triathlon," said race director Cheryl Tanton. "It's a very young sport on the Island."
The triathlon is a "test event" for the 2009 Canada Summer Games, which will be held on P.E.I., and organizers need at least 50 volunteers.
"A volunteer could be anything from handing out water to road control," said Tanton, who adds she'll be "thrilled with 100" participants.
"You don't have to be an ironman or woman to try," said Tanton. "It's not your stumble-to-the-finish-line type of event that people see on television."
Tanton hopes to attract participants from throughout the Maritimes and possibly some Canada Games' athletes.
"I'm hoping Island people will come out," she said. "We'll be competing against ourselves. Age-group participants don't have to feel intimidated because we won't be competing against the junior national athletes."
Tanton expects the age groups to be 19-and-under and in all likelihood go in 10-year divisions.
The major challenge in attracting competitors for triathlons, says Tanton, is the swimming aspect.
"You can swim any stroke you want and can even flip over on your back and kick," said Tanton.
To volunteer or to obtain more information, contact Keith or Cheryl at tanton@eastlink.ca.
