With 70 runners in its 12-kilometre race on Sunday, the Grizzly Bear Run experienced its lowest turnout in over 10 years, which organizer Jarrett Spannier attributed to the non-appearance of elite runners from the Okanagan.
“Last year a course record was set of 41:45,” he said. “Fastest this year was seven minutes behind that.”
Be that as it may, Spannier was heartened by the 32-person turnout for 4-k fun run and it was “great to see that many kids out running with mom or dad.”

Jesse Anchikoski 2nd overall 50:19
