Another Successful Island Boodle & The Finish Results

Post by carolburton »

The BI Sports Booster would like to thank the Sponsors and Island Business, the supportive Community, Volunteers, Donators, Runners, and Walkers for being so generous in supporting this event which raises much need funds for our Beaver Island Community School Athletic Programs.

There were a total of 59 Runners and Walkers that participated for the slightly blustery Island Boodle. Hosted at the BICS in the open gym with lots of bagels, healthy treats, and refreshments before and after the race.There was a new route posted with large signs to assist the participants along the way. A water stop at the half way point with our local EMS assisting. Also, some very neck and neck finishes resulting in a tie for the Male Runners. Then awards and trophies for the top finishers and lots of raffle prizes for the participants. A special thanks goes out to the many first time visitors to the Island who came to enjoy the Island Boodle with us.

Congratulations to all the Boodle Winners:

Men Runners:
1st-Tie, Clayton Beault and Cameron LaVasseur @ 22:25,
2nd-Marvin Boluyt 27:09
3rd-Scott France 28:30

Women Runners:
1st-Lianne McLennon 24:40
2nd-Rachel Jones 28:16
3rd-Pat Walquist 31:05

Men Walkers:

2nd-Bob Turner 45:50
3rd-John Gerrish 50:01

Women Walkers:

The first place overall winners for Male Runner (Clayton) and Female Runner (Lianne), both first time visitors from Canada, left today not only with a trophy but a Round Trip Ticket generously donated by Island Airways and a BIMF Weekend Pass won in the raffle. Congratulations!

We are already looking forward to next year!

Thank you to Carol, the sponsors, and all the volunteers who made the Boodle such a success! I had a great time, and every runner I spoke with thought so, too. The Canadian couple were seen leaving the Bite, vowing to come back next summer. Well done, everyone!
