The Sturgis Kinsmen miracle annual marathon was a combined effort of the Sturgis Composite School students, staff and Kinsmen members as they made their way back to Sturgis from Canora on February 28.
"The Town of Canora was canvassed prior to the marathon," said Brad Cameron, principal. Along the highway the group had collected donations and pledges. The marathon raised a total of $2,530.
