TEAM A

Today the Harmony Run teams spent most of the day running. The girls’ team ran about 42km to the city of Yorkton, Saskatchewan. It was extremely windy, which very much presented a challenge. We pulled through though and made our way, running into the city! We arrived in Yorkton in the afternoon and met with Bernie Wlock, a Yorkton Pacers runner. He ran with us a few kilometers to the City Centre Park where we met up with the rest of the Harmony Run team, Mayor Chris Wyatt and the Big Brothers Big Sisters Of Yorkton. There, we had a ceremony in the park, presenting the Mayor and Deana Jesmer, events coordinator of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Of Yorkton, with certificates of appreciation and World Harmony Run t-shirts. It was a very nice ceremony, and although it was quite windy, we all enjoyed the enthusiasm and joy that the people of Yorkton showed us.
