. King of the Mountain
Footrace (July 29)

Having known Smithers run-
ner Richard Harrison for some
time, we all realized that he was
the favourite to win the 13th
running of this Terrace event.
The only runner in the past few
years to give Richard a race for
the title has been Terrace resi-
dent Colin Parr, Parr’s best time
over the Terrace Mountain
Nature Trail was 35:33, set back
in 1987. But this was bettered by
Richard Harrison in 1988 with
35:29. The weather conditions
were almost ideal — maybe on
the warm side for some.

A mid-course surge managed
to give Richard the lead over
Colin, which he held to the end.
His time of 3:43 was a victory by
25 seconds and meant he had
won the race for the sixth time in
seven years.

Prince Rupert’s Rose-Marie
Cheer captured the open
women’s side, but her time of
51:46 was off the female mark
of 43:51 set back in 1985. This
was her first attempt at ‘‘the
Hill’, so future attempts look
promising for a shot at the rec-
ord. Other results saw master
runner Ed Ansems (Terrace)
place third overall; he was the
first master at 41:12. Marilyn
Earl (63:16) of Terrace won the
masters women division. Dave

‘Edmonds (43:26) of Terrace

placed first in the under-19 age
group.

Many of the remaining par-
ticipants waged their own per-
sonal battles. Some struggled to
complete the 8K course, while
Others tried to run the entire
distance without having to stop.
‘The endless series of short hills,
did take a few
casualties,

This year’s race attracted 40
runners — down from the 94
who entered a few years ago.
Maybe the Northwest is losing

its share of racers who want to —

pretend they are as capable as
any mountain goat in the area.
Maybe the steep inclines and
rocky surfaces are too much of
an obstacle for all but a handful
of hardy participants,
Nevertheless, members of the
Skeena Valley. Runners’ Club
would welcome runners from

around the province who -might:

come to Terrace for an oppor-
tunity to take part in a
somewhat unusual race. Those
of you who like hilly courses will
find this race a challenge worth
taking. Besides, we always like
to place our best runners in a
race with any newcomers to the

Smithers Fail Fair 5K.
and 10K (August 26)

The third annual running of
this popular event started at 9

m. It was fortunate that the... .
-Tace did not start any earlier as

some of the out-of-towners re-
quired more than a few hours
out of their sleeping bags before
they were able to get their bodies
moving. Some had camped out
during the Fall Fair weekend, as
the warm daytime weather in-
spired that sort of activity.

However, with clear nights the .

temperatures dropped so much
that ice formed on exposed

water surfaces before morning. —

Warming up in T-shirts and
singlets was thus. difficult.
Nevertheless, a record 72 run-
ners from Prince Rupert to
Burns Lake managed to prepare
themselves for the two races.

The slight downhill at the start
of both races led to a first mile
under 5:00 for Smithers runner
Richard Harrison. He was close-
ly followed by Terrace runners
Colin Parr, Ed Ansems and
Gord Buxton. Richard (32:47)
continued to lead the race
throughout and even managed
to stretch his lead as the race
progressed. A close battle for
second emerged as Colin and Ed
exchanged leads a number of
times. The final 400m uphill
took its toll on many runners,
but in the race for second place,
Colin (34:34) won by a second
over the final few metres. Gord
was fourth over the line in a time
of 36:50. .

In the women’s 10K, a close
race developed as Terrace run-
ner Diana Wood (43:23 and 24th
overall) won over Kelli Maskie-
wich (43:44) of Smithers. Susan
Davies of Smithers was third ina
time of 45:16.

Other category winners were
as follows:

Junior Men — 1. David
Shepherd (Terrace) 38:15; 2.
Ted Conlon (Smithers) 39:25; 3.
Cormac Hikisch (Telkwa) 42:30..
