The 3rd Annual Canada Day Lucan to Exeter or Exeter to Lucan Invitational Shamrock Half Marathon (ACDLTEOETLISHM) was a resounding success with 43 runners completing the trek from the Lucan Community Memorial Centre to Arnie's House in Exeter.
THANKS go out to the volunteers who devoted their Canada Day to serving eLoad, water, oranges, jujubes and jelly beans to the runners, recording the results, designing and fabricating the race medals, taking photos and video of this auspicious event, and shuttling runners back to Lucan after the post-race rehydration. And a special thanks to the Spivey's who opened up their front lawn, back lawn, space under the back deck, kitchen, living room, rec room and washrooms to 40+ sweaty runners!
Also thanks to marathon legend John Ferguson for extending an invitation to his Runner's Choice London marathon training group, making this the most well-attended ACDLTEOETLISHM yet. You're all invited back next year!
