White talks about the run through humid conditions.
“I tried to go out very easy. I knew with the heat and humidity it was going to be a tough day. I ran much slower than I would normally. I took advantage of the water stops as well.”
Stan Chen of Wolfville was second and Yarmouth’s Marco Albright came in third place.
A half-marathon and 10k were also part of yesterday’s event, and a 5k was held on Saturday.
Runners from our region, across Nova Scotia, the Maritimes and even Canada and the United States took part.
