MINI MARATHON ROAD RACE Some 150 rummers and 40 wheel chair drivers participated in the mini marathon road race onSunday. The first to com- plete the race, averaged 12 miles an hour. This is quite an ac- complishment in itself, but more amazing, is that, the first to complete the course, did so in a wheel chair. The champ will be attending the handicapped Olympics in Holland this sum- mer. The Corridor Champ, Darryl Taylor, also took part in the race. Last year Darryl completed the 6 miles in his wheel chair in 73 minutes. This year, he bettered his own time, wheeling the 6 miles in 30 minutes. The mini marathon race was blessed with beautiful sunny weather, and no misshaps occurred. We congratulate all entrants, but a special felicitation is ex- tended to Darryl Taylor, from the Corridor in Whitby.
