There were nearly 60 people who registered for St. Mary’s inaugural Run for the House marathon Saturday in which participants were met with some beautiful conditions thanks to Mother Nature.

“I was quite impressed in the end. At first I was worried because we had 10 people registered at one point,” said Carolyn Siemens, co-organizer of Run For The House with a nervous chuckle knowing full well Taberites like to wait until the last minute.

“I kept saying I know this town, I used to do Summer Games and the Fun Run, this town operates as a last-minute community. Our kids did a great job coming out and supporting the run. The girls volleyball team participated and there were lots of other kids who joined the run job coming out.”

The event raised nearly $2,000 for Ronald McDonald House in Calgary as the organization helped a St. Mary’s teacher needing its services with a child on the mend.

“There is definite talk of it turning into an annual event,” said Siemens. “We had people that participated, we had people who volunteered and people who donated. Without all of them we couldn’t have done it, it took a community to pull it off.”
