Whistler runner in Sun Run medals

This year some 48,650 people took part in the 20th annual Vancouver Sun Run, a 10 km race around downtown Vancouver.

As always dozens of Whistler residents took part, many of them finishing under the 40 minute mark.

One Whistler runner, Kristina Rody, found herself in the top-five of her division this year, finishing fourth among women 25 to 29 with a time of 35 minutes and three seconds. She also placed 10 th among all women and 85 th out of all runners.

Squamish runner Gord Addison also finished 10 th in the men’s 35 to 39 age group and 49 th overall with his time of 33:49.
