Rocks!! Run in Robbie Burns 8k

Rocks!! member, Steve Fessenden and his partner Melanie Muise travelled to Burlington this Sunday to compete in the 28th Annual Robbie Burns 8k.

The event is put on faithfully every year by the Burlington Runners Club and attracts nearly 800 runners - and some very fast ones too. The course records are    Kathy Butler (1993) 26:52
Gary Westgate (1990) 23:11


Nobody approached Cathy and Gary's times this year but our North Bay Rock!!, Tim Uuksulainen's son, Erik Uuksulainen, pulled down 8th overall in 27:47.

Steve Fessenden had an excellent outing coming 67th overall and 11th in his age group (32:53 SM40-44 11/53) in a time of 32:53.

It appears Steve and Melanie Muise just may have had a private competition going on as their finishing times were very close. Mel crossed the line in 80th place overall and 4th in her age group (SF25-29 4/27) in a time of 33:16.

February 3, 2007           5th Annual Run in Memory of Kurt Gelbhaar

On Saturday, February 3, the Sudbury Rocks!! Running Club will hosting our fifth annual Run in Memory of Kurt Gelbhaar.

Kurt died suddenly on Tuesday, January 29, 2002. He was in his 79th year and still running competitively. He was a mentor and inspiration to most local runners and it is fitting his actions be remembered.

The Run will be very informal. There will be no set distances and it is not a race. We will meet in the lobby of the Cambrian Fitness Centre off Lorne St. at 9:00 am . The run will start at approximately 9:15 am and will proceed at a leisurely pace towards Bell Park and Science North. Runners are free to go whatever distance appeals to them or fits their schedule but ALL runners will be encouraged to stick together for the first 1/2 hour.
