More than 20 Canyon Lakers and one spunky canine braved the mid 40-degree temperatures to compete in the Heart and Sole 5K/10K run/walk. Hosted by the Canyon Lake Triathlon and Fitness Club, the event started and finished at the lodge parking lot under skies that threatened rain for the duration of the event.

Both courses headed down Canyon Club Drive and turned left onto Canyon Lake Drive. The 5K course continued down Canyon Lake Drive to the turnaround point at Santa Maria Drive. The 10K course turned left at Vacation Drive and took a hilly route, with the turnaround point at the ski pavilion at the north causeway.

The participants started on their journey at 8 a.m. and approximately 25 minutes later, started to file into the finish line. Matt Kivrizis was the first of the 5K finishers and was awarded a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Wendy Gallagher and Brian Christian rounded out the top three positions.

Ben Wells took top honors in the 10K run and was also awarded a box of chocolates. Ray Calderon and Jully Martilla finished second and third respectively. Aiden Kivrizis was the first kid across the finish line and Cooper (the standard poodle) was the first canine finisher by default, as he was the only four-legged participant.

Participants in the 10K included Ben Wells, Ray Calderon, Jully Martilla and Lainie Cooney.

Participants in the 5K included Matt and Aiden Kivrizis, Brian Christian, Myranda Woodward, Malena Lavan, Kenzie and Tracey Schreiner, Cynthia Hartwig, Jennifer and Cooper Dain, Tamara, Lexi and Brandon Jones, Alena and Chris Bueker, Paul, Wendy and Jimmy Gallagher and Dylan Marrero.
