The 1100 participants (more than 500                      in the half marathon!) and more than 100 volunteers created                      a successful event under beautiful Indian Summer skies.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The races got off to a late start because of thick fog which                      posed a safety concern out on the roads, but within 15 minutes                      all races were off and running. There was a race for every                      one, the Marathon, Half Marathon, 10 km, 5km, and a Turkey                      Trot 1 km Run which stayed on the Museum grounds for the Kids.                      The running course is hilly and a great challenge for runners.                      It was spectacular to see the runners climbing the hill and                      working their way out of the fog that was still settled in                      at the lower elevations. The day turned into a gloriously                      sunny day reaching 22 C by mid day. After the races the runners                      were all given a meal and had the opportunity to enjoy a massage.<\/p>\n<p>The Marathon winner, Ken Macleod of Ottawa, won the Marathon                      for his second year and attention should be drawn to the 1:09:00                      winning time in the Men&#8217;s Half by Deng Kuol of Kingston &#8211;                      and who said this was a tough course!
