By all accounts, organizers of the Fourth Annual All Nations Spring Classic were blown away by this year’s participation.
The five- or 10-kilometre walk or run took place beginning at the ball diamond at Sugar Cane, winding its way through the community under sunny skies and hot weather Friday morning.

“We had such an amazing turnout for this year’s event,” said Kayla Jasper, organizer and healthy living program coach with Three Corners Health, noting 135 participants registered. “There were four teachers from Columneetza that brought their classes out to participate, as well as Little Chiefs Elementary School and many others that all battled through the heat — it was almost 30 C when the last runners came across the finish line.
“Congratulations to all of the winners.”
The event was put on through a joint effort between Three Corners Health, the Tsihlqot’in National Government and Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society.
Jasper also thanked all of the volunteers who helped throughout the day.
“We couldn’t keep hosting this run each year without their help,” she said.
