Calgary Marathon

Congrats to all the Regina area runners who completed the Calgary marathon, 50 km ultra or half-marathon.  Results for the marathon and 50 km are below for Regina-area runners.  Huge congrats to Neil Sharp, for his age group win - the best 2014 marathon time for Men 60-69 on the Prairies so far this year.  It's also the 5th fastest in all of Canada - very significant considering that Neil is in the 65-69 rather than 60-64 category.

Also congrats to Jan Steenkamp and Tania Diener for finishing their second marathon in a week - Marathon Maniacs qualifier!
