Dairy Capital Run Goes Today at Southside Park

Sunday, 26 May 2013 11:22

Children as young as 2 are looking to make a difference in our community. It's part of the annual Dairy Capital Run which features many races including the little Hoofer's for kids aged 2-6 years. Program and Gift Coordinator for the Woodstock General Hospital, Kathy Deweerd says money raised will go toward a Direct Mobile Radiography machine for the Diagnostic Imaging Unit which is a portable xray which offers imaging technology at the bedside when moving a patient is difficult or unsafe. "The DI department are really excited that this is what our focus is and it will be an excellent compliment to the DI services we offer right now." Deweerd says they have added some cash and prizes this year. "Every participant will get a medal once you cross the finish line which I think is wonderful and the first place will get a cash prize so it's great. I mean even if you're a beginner runner, you're still going to get a medal." Prior to race day, organizers had already seen a 35 percent increase in registration with more than 200 new runners. The events kick off at 8:30 at Southside Park with anyone wishing to still register asked to be at the park by 7:30.
