The Fin Island Run was underway again recently, this year taking place on Aug. 24.
Participants got some exercise and a feel-good uplift as the run raised over $800 for the Canadian Mental Health Association - Battlefords Branch.
According to the Fin Island Run Facebook page, “[it’s] so great to be able to give back to our community that gives so much to us every year to keep our event going year after year!”
In the 1K event, Graham Nagy of Vonda placed first, with a time of 2:16. Madison Harder of Denholm had a time of 3:41, and North Battleford’s top finisher in the category was Cohen Lafreniere, with a time of 3:50. Gabrielle Ball, Battleford’s top finisher, had a time of 4:09.
