Summit Run rookies prepare for the big day
The annual Summit Run in Prince Albert attracts roughly 500 runners and walkers and, according to organizers, this Saturday’s event on the Rotary Trail will be no different.
Six rookies who have been training together will be making their Summit debuts. Tiffany Buglass, Carol Wittal, Tammy Cantin, Janet Smith as well as 8-year-old Hailey Evans and 10-year-old Braydon Evans began their journey in April with the goal of running the 5 km at Summit.
Both a Summit organizer and group leader, Lisa Evans said the run Saturday is a celebration of the hard work leading up to the event and is one of biggest reasons she gets involved every year.
“I think they’re great examples of how some people think, ‘oh, maybe this is something that’s too big of a goal’ and a perfect example of how we practice and with consistency and motivation of a group, you can achieve great things,” she said.
