The skies had cleared up from the rain the night before. Sun was starting to peer through promising a bright day.
And making use of the clear day were Sudbury residents as they participated in Walk/Run/Bike for Cancer.
The Walk/Run/Bike for Cancer is the third of six MOVE - The Kivi Park, Fitness Series events, held to support the Northern Cancer Foundation.
“The response has been great, so far, many more families come out for our summer events, which is good,” Tannys Laughren, executive director of Northern Cancer Foundation said.
The event offered something for everyone ranging from one-kilometre to 10-kilometre routes. In addition this time the participants could even pick the type of cancer researches their pledge would support.
“We have all the different causes that are Northern Cancer Foundation, like radiation, or breast cancer or prostate cancer. The participants could tick on the registration form where they would like to see their money go,” Laughren said.
The event saw a turnout of more than 250 participants, beating the records of the previous two events held in winter.
“This event is extra special because we have had another team join, Team Elaine. It is from Mike Wilson, owner of Continental Insulation who has put the team together in honour of his wife, and we are thrilled to have him,” Laughren added.
So far the event had raised more than $4,000, however, more was expected as the race ended this morning.
Coming up next in the MOVE Series is Miner's Mayhem Mud Run, Stand up to Cancer Paddleboat race and Mountain bike race.
