Lakers Cross Country keeps busy

With cool clear skies and near perfect running conditions, the men's and women's Lakers Cross-Country Running squads seized the opportunity to enjoy one last fast, but relaxed fast-paced effort at Sunday's annual Our Hospital Run-Walk in support of the North Bay Regional Health Centre.Through a combination of bake sales and the creative Run Your Laker Ragge' treadmill challenge, the students on the Nipissing Cross-Country Team raised over $430 in support of this local charity event.
While not running at full effort, given that the OUA Cross-Country Championships fall less than a week away, the team still comfortably ran some very fast times and are feeling confident going into their final week of training before the big championship event, held Saturday, at Chedoke Golf Course, in Hamilton, Ontario.
The Our Hospital Run-Walk was the second charity fun-run the team participated in this fall, after raising more than $200 for the CIBC Run for the Cure a few weekends ago.?
