MILTON - The 9th Annual P.E.I. Parks Trail Run was held on Saturday, June 11, with 91 runners completing the 10-kilometre run on the Confederation Trail in Milton, where the event started and finished. The Trail Run was a fundraiser for GEAR (Get Everyone Accessibly Riding).

Participants of all ages and abilities took part in the run and along with Islanders there were also visiting runners from Nova Scotia and Ontario.

“The run couldn’t have gone better,” said Paul Baglole, run organizer. “The runners welcomed the sun and warmth of the day. Lots of smiles. It was great to see so many Islanders out in the fresh air enjoying the Confederation Trail.

“Looking forward to our 10th anniversary run next year,” he added.
