A very busy weekend held down the roster of entrants to 23
runners as the annual King-of-the-Mountain .foot race
started at 9 a.m. on July 31 at the Terrace Arena.

Colin Parr + (left) and Richard Harrison walked back to the
finish line together after completion of thelr annual King-of-
the-Mountain run on July 31. Harrison broke Parr’s record
by four seconds in placing first. Parr wound up second.

You might say that Smithers’
Richard . Harrison owns the
King-of-the-Mountain foot race.

The speedster from up the line
won for an unprecedented fifth
time in the 12-year race history
on July 31, and he set a new
record by four seconds over the
previous mark set just last year
by Terrace’s Colin Parr.

Harrison had earlier victories
for the five-mile jaunt in 1983,
84, 785, and 86. Parr broke his
string last year by winning his se-
cond King-of-the-Mountain
race. His first was in 1981.

Harrison’s °86 time was 35
minutes, 4] seconds. Last year
Parr came along and set a new
mark of 35.33. But Harrison
was back in form for ’88 .and
lowered the mark to 35,29.

Organizer Neil Fleischmann
told runners at the awards

presentation that they’d likely ~

see another record next year as
plans are afoot to change the
runoff portion from the moun-
tain enroute to the finish line.
Disappointment was express-

ed, along with reasons, for the

poor turnout of only 23 com-
petitors.
. Fleischmann said many
would-be competitors were tied
up at the B,C, Summer Games
in Victoria, plus numerous B.C.
Day celebrations in ‘Terrace and
area.

in the open women’ s section,
veteran Sué Simpson crossed the
line first in 46.50. She placed

Harrison5-timeking

fourth overall behind Harrison,
Parr, and Dean McLay.

Bill Nannings won the masters
men’s section in 63.20, The
masters women’s group went to
Marilyn Earl in 60.59.

Simpson said her winning
time for the ladies was well off
her best and about three minutes

shy of the record held by

Maureen Sargent of Hazelton.
The brother and sister com-

bination of Jon and Karen

Shepherd each won their 10 to

13 age division. Jon was eighth —

overall in 51.16. Karen was ‘12th
in 58,34,

Lemuel Russell ran at 58.37
which was tops for the 14 to 16
age group. Allen Casey of New
Hazelton was timed at 51.25 for
the 17 to 19 section. .

A sidelight to the race is that
Don Sissons of Kitimat arrived
seven minutes late at the starting
line. However, he took off and
came in with a time of 63.57.

If Sissons had started on time,
he would have placed about
12th, He still managed 17th
position.
