The week of May 27 kicked off to a sporty start with the final leg of the annual Marafun adventure Sunday. Taking place at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon, more than 1,300 participants came together for the 2.2-kilometre run.
Medstead School staff and parents gathered to ready for the race on a pleasantly overcast day. The first 40 kilometres are ran over the course of the weeks prior. This year, registered students donned their green shirts and split into their respective grade groups. With the oldest running first, the run took the kids on a course though Diefenbaker Park surrounded by athletes from several other schools.
The race came during a day of track and field events put on by Potash Corp. Every participant crossing the line received a medal commemorating the achievement.
The run came shortly after the Medstead Mustangs competed at the district level in North Battleford May 23 and 24.
As one month of school remains, the Mustangs’ calendar is filled with upcoming fundraisers and events for students, both academic and extra-curricular.
Sewer Leak Repaired
Municipal works of Medstead saw a problem in the plans of spring when the sewer line just southeast of the school sprang a leak.
The leak was originally to be mended on the Tuesday after the long weekend. Delays arose due to the need for the line locators to come to site. Unfortunately, if the matter is not deemed an emergency, the wait time is about two business days.
It was Friday when the locators made it to the site and the leak was repaired in a mere two hours. The playground is no longer subject to the potential health hazards associated with a long-term leak.
