The chickadees were out in full force cheering on 34 runners for the first Chezzetcook Chickadee Trail Run.
The tightest race within the race was the women's sixteen kilometre. The first three finishers were roughly within three minutes of one another.
Early estimates for top men's finisher were an hour twenty'ish. A mix of technically challenging road wide ice puddles and icy dicey downhills would make staying upright a wee bit sketchy. Two running aces smoked that time, and a total of ten finishers were within one hour thirty! There's definitely some running talent in them there hills.
Thanks a bunch to the volunteers, most of them having never seen a trail run before, who were indubitably impressed at the fitness level and friendliness of the runners!
Not least of all, a huge thanks to The Adventure Outfitters for hooking up our five volunteers with gift certificates, as well as providing gift certificates given away as draw prizes.
