All Results

from the Organizers: Congratulations to all the participants in this years 87th running of the race. We continue to be lucky with the weather and again had temperatures around freezing. Many runners ran in their new technical shirts showing off their snowmen. The Hamilton Harriers want to recognize the YMCA for the excellent venue to put on the race, and The City of Hamilton for their excellent work on the course and policing to keep the runners same. The volunteers who come out year after year to stand outside for three hours keeping the runners on course and hydrated. Check the website out in the next several weeks, you might see yourself as we update for 2008.

I just received the good new of my full sponsorship and training clothing as much as i need. I can't believe how blessed I am. On top of that, the Guts and Glory event organizer asked me to speak at the next yrs event. I will start with speaking to high school kids in Jan. and Feb. It was just a blessing to be their honoured guest at the last events... and now to speak at the next one... wow.

It was ONLY through sport the ROCKS!! being the first place I asked to join and was welcomed, that I actually started to come out of my shell. I know I am not of the kind of 'group' of people that typically are members of ROCKS!! but no one has ever left me feeling unwelcome or unwanted. I want to thank you for that opportunity for without it, I may still be an inactive, morbidly obese person locked up inside my home.
Thanks for taking me in to the ROCKS and never leaving me feeling like i was a burden etc.

Congratulations Minna from Vince and all us Sudbury Rocks!! members.

On the Marathon:

• We are different, in essence, from others. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.

• To describe the agony of a marathon to someone who's never run it is like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind.
