Rocks!! and Friends Hike
to Silver Peak
Saturday October 1, 2022
If you have not experienced
it yet, Silver Peak is one of the best hikes in
Northern Ontario. The 360 degrees views are amazing.
And if the timing is right, the colours are breathtaking
in the fall.
On Saturday Oct 1
Rocks!! friend Andre Dumais organized a group hike
to Silver Peak, the highest point in Killarney’s
La Cloche Mountain range at 1,768 feet / 539 m high.
Approximately 40 signed on for the adventure. It
was made available to all comers and all ability
levels. "This is a leisurely hike, not
a fitness challenge".
The hike is an out
and back. Approximately 6km each way. 4km from the
trailhead to the base of Silver Peak is very easy
walking and mostly flat.
The 2km up the peak is fairly intense with a couple
of technical sections. We took out time and everyone
made it without issue. (There is a 3km paddle
on Bell Lake to reach the traihead start, Canoes
are available to rent onsite at Bell Lake).
Thank you Andre for
organizing the day. Now on to the next adventure.

Turkey Gobbler 2022
Walden Cross Country Fitness Club
| Welcome
to this year's Turkey Gobbler Trail Race. This year
we will be offering a 1km, a 3.5km and an 8km in-person
event. While we do still highly encourage social
distancing there are not currently any restrictions
in this regard. We have discovered over the last
couple of years that in addition to safe guarding
our health, the wave format resolved a number of
other logistic issues for the event so we are sticking
with a version of it. Start times will be as follows:
NEW
COURSE MAPS
Wave 1 (8km) 9:00am
Wave 2 (Kids 1km) 10:30am
Wave 3 (3.5km) 11:00am
We will be doing mass starts within each of the
waves unless the Health Unit recommends otherwise
between now and then. We do encourage all participants
to be double vaccinated and double boosted but it
is not a requirement to attend this event.
T-shirts will be limited and sizing/availability
will be based on a first come sign up basis. If
you wait too long then you may not get your size
of choice or you could possibly end up with a previous
year's shirt. Please note that we WILL be putting
on a kid's 1km this year. The kids race entry does
not include a t-shirt but the shirts can be purchased
extra on the registration site.
The
online registration on the Running Room site
is OPEN.
Please pay attention
to the Wave descriptions when you sign up as they
are designated by distance this year.
This event is a fundraiser for the Walden Nordic
Racer ski team. 100% of the profits will be going
to this youth racing program.
You can e-mail us at beatonclassic@hotmail.ca
if you have any questions. Volunteers are welcome
and encouraged.

LU Cross-Country Press Release
October 1st, 2022
“Laurentian’s Gendron places 3rd at Don
Mills Waterloo Open”
Laurentian Voyageurs Cross-Country
Running team competed at the Don Mills Waterloo
Open hosted by the University of Waterloo this
past weekend.
Running with the lead pack, Laurentian’s
Pascale Gendron (Toronto) surged over the final
two kilometres of the six-kilometre race to place
third overall amongst university athletes in a
time of twenty-two minutes and thirty-two seconds.
Following Gendron, the Vees raced in a tight pack
with only forty-three seconds separating their
next four scoring runners. Second-year nursing
student Kristen Mrozewski (Sudbury), placed 32nd
in 24:16. Fourth-year health promotion student,
Angela Mozzon (Sudbury) placed 35th in 24:21.
Fifth-year education student Sarah Thackeray (Cavan)
placed 37th in 24:25. Third-year adventure leadership
student Sarah Booth (Peterborough) was Laurentian’s
final scorer in 47thplace in 24:59. Also competing
for Laurentian was Meredith Kusnierczyk (Sudbury),
who placed 49th in 25:05; Ashley Valentini (Oshawa),
64th in 26:22 and Abbey Maillet (Dundas), 65th
in 26:43. The Laurentian women placed fifth in
the team scoring with a total of 153 points.
On the men’s side, Laurentian’s Seamus
Doherty (Georgetown) continued his impressive
rookie campaign by once again leading his squad
with a 21st place individual finish. Doherty’s
time over the six-kilometre race was nineteen
minutes and fifty-five seconds. Also scoring for
Laurentian were Nicholas Lambert (Elliot Lake),
64th, 21:43; Brandon Radey (Sudbury), 65th, 21:44;
Kevin Yuan (China), 67th, 22:02; and Travis Annett
(Sudbury),71st, 22:05. Other Laurentian finishers
included Keegan Lockley (Petawawa), 76th, 22:20;
Tyler Rowles (Amhertsburg), 80th, 22:26; and Hayden
Ring (Oshawa), 87th, 23:09.
“Pascale’s fitness is definitely showing”,
commented Head Coach, Darren Jermyn. “She
followed up her impressive run at Western last
weekend with another great performance today.
She was comfortable running in the lead pack and
was able to surge when needed to place in the
top three”
Commenting on her team’s performance, Sarah
Thackeray noted, “Our women’s team
raced very hard as a group today, constantly pushing
other throughout the race and we all finished
strongly”.
Veteran Nicholas Lambert noted on the men’s
race, “Our team improved as a whole from
last weekend, so that provides us with some confidence,
but there is still room for improvement.”
The Vees return to OUA action on October 14th
at the McMaster Bayfront Open in Hamilton.
