Not everyone was sitting around recovering from the 25th this morning. A couple of our members were among the 450 runners competing in the annual Boxing Day Road Races in Hamilton today. Jacob Zerko made a late move to capture second place in the 4 mile event, finishing in 21 minutes and 30 seconds. Kingston's Miles Brackenbury won in 20:38.

Last month, Mike Hammond was among the tens of thousands in the London (England) Marathon and posted a time of 3:02. Turns out he had covid at the time as well, hence the walking breaks he had to take. Steve Mota ran a 1:42 half marathon in the Victoria Half out on the west coast a couple of weeks ago. The scenic route was run in perfect warm and sunny weather.
