Hundreds of runners sprint down Hamilton Avenue Story by Kathleen Wilker

A humidex of 40 inspired hundreds of runners to push themselves at the 7th annual CycleLogik Hintonburg 5K and Newswest 1K on July 14, organized by Jeff Leiper and the Hintonburg Community Association. A strong field led to fast finishes with the top female under twelve,

Corina Peres, finishing in 22:02. The top male under twelve, Matthew Linehan, finished in 22:25. In the women’s category, the top finisher was Jane Latham of Wellington Village, with a time of 20:02, whose two young daughters also ran in the 5K. The top man, Craig Fettes, came in at a time of 15:44, a mere second

ahead of the second place man. With crowds cheering, giving out much needed water and offering misting at key spots along the route, the runners were well supported. The ever popular post-race cake was a hit and everyone commented on the enthusiastic volunteers and the warm, community spirit. Continued on page 10
