Sooke was well represented at the Cobble Hill 10K race on January 28th. Cobble Hill is the second race of the Island Race series, which has 8 races in total running from January to April. The course was beautiful and foggy and it looked like everyone had an amazing time.
Top finisher overall was Andrew Davies of Vancouver, with a time of 29:32.The top finisher of the women’s race was Glynis Sim of Vancouver, with a time of 33:23. A record was broken again by Roz Smith for her age group of 75-79, with a time of 49:11. For two races in a row, Roz has crushed it.
The route is fairly flat with a few hills around 4 and 8 kms. Although it is mostly a circle route, there is an out and back early in the race so it was neat to see the fast runners whizzing by while I was puffing away and getting my race legs on. Congratulations to all the STARRs who participated! The next race is the Cedar 12K on Sunday, February 11.
