It was a perfect day for the Near North District School Board Cross Country Running Championships which took place this morning at the Elam Caldwell Centre near ET Carmichael elementary school.
More than 500 boys and girls took part in the 2.5-kilometre race through the woods near the school on the north end of the city.
The event included a total of six races involving grade four to six boys and girls.
Organizers say this is the second largest event for the board after the Elementary Track meet.
