Valentine
Prediction Fun Run • February 6, 2010 |
| |
|
| On a
windy and cool Saturday afternoon, runner's and walkers traversed
the Granada Bridge, not once but twice, to navigate their way to the
2.6 distance of the Valentine Prediction Fun Run. Most dressed
in red for the occasion, many bundled in jackets and scarves. |
| |
|
| Runner's
predicted the time it would take to cover this distance. They
were timed and their finish times compared to their predicted time.
Many were very close, others a long way off but the one that was the
closest was Gerry Fahey. He predicted he would cover the
distance in 26:26, his actual time was 26:06. Pretty darn
close. Eddie Roseboom was 2nd. with a predicted time of 30:00
minutes, actual time, 29:34. 26 seconds off. Others were
anywhere from 1:15 off to 15:00 minutes. The first team was
the mother/daughter team of Jennifer & Nikki Schdivy with a
predicted time of 48:16. Their combined time was 49:07.
Gerry Fahey received a $50.00 gift card to Bonefish Grill for his
efforts. Jennifer & Nikki received two $25.00 gift cards.
Pretty good rewards. |

|
| The kids
had a good time, each receiving a medal for their efforts.
Others won gifts in the drawings which included Fuel Belts, shirts,
hand books and trinkets. Everyone went home with something. |

Kent Smith showed off his talent as the chef. Everyone
gobbled down the hot dogs and beans provided by McK's, indulged in
chips, cookies and soda. |
| |
|
| The best
part of the afternoon was the 'Shoes for Haiti' donations.
Runner's were generous in bringing their shoes for Haiti'.
Bags and bags of all kinds of shoes were collected and turned over
to Ruth Kent who left for Haiti Feb. 25th. with shoes to be
distributed to the victims of the Haiti Earthquake, It was
especially nice to see the response and happy the Beachcombers could
do their small part. |
