Canadian Nordic team dominates fun run
Members of the Canadian national Nordic ski team dominated the annual Whitefish Friends and Family Fun Run last weekend in Whitefish.
The team annually travels to Whitefish to train for a few weeks.
Graeme Killick, of Canmore, Alberta took first place in the mens 10k race. Killick has a pair of Canadian national Nordic titles under his belt from the 2009-10 ski season.
He slipped across the finish line ahead of fellow Canmore resident and Nordic ski team member Kevin Sandau, who took second with a 32:24.6.
Also of the Canadian Nordic team, Heidi Widmer placed first among women in the 10k race with a 37:46, while teammate Emily Nishikawa placed first in the 5k after a nice time of 21:10.8.
Jim Peacock, of Columbia Falls, won the mens 5k with a 20:24.1. Whitefish’s David Wirth was second at 23:04.3.
Proceeds from the fun run will benefit the Child Development Center in Kalispell and the Shepherd’s Hand Clinic in Whitefish. The race is sponsored by Whitefish Therapy and Sport Center.
