Défi Sutton Challenge 2023 – A resounding success!
On a sunny but chilly Saturday, a hundred Sutton residents took part in the fifth edition of the Sutton Challenge organized by the Coop gym santé Sutton as part of ParticipACTION’s Community Challenge, which runs from June 1 to 30, 2023 across Canada.
Of the 100 participants, 57 were under 12, including the youngest, Flora, aged 3. As for the adults, congratulations to our elder Elisabeth, who, at the dawn of her 87th birthday, walked the 3 km course.
A total of 121 starts were made on the 4 following events: 3km walk and run, 800 and 1,600 meters and the popular 1,600-meter relay (2 adults/2 children).
Well done to the youngsters who took part in all four events, and congratulations to Rose Bruneau-Lessieur who came 2nd in the 3km, 800m and 1600m, and Edan Lamoureux who came 3rd in the 800m and 1600m. In the boys’ category, congratulations to Pierre Gaudet, 1st in the 800m and 2nd in the 1600m. Well done!
Congratulations to the three winning teams of the 1600m relay!
The smoothie bike is a popular post-race activity….each participant pedals to operate the blender that provides a delicious smoothie. What a delight!
The Coop gym santé Sutton would like to thank Édith Dandenault, master of ceremonies, IGA Sutton and Alban Houle fruits et légumes for the snacks, the Town of Sutton for the equipment and the twenty-one volunteers who helped make the event a success.
The Défi Sutton Challenge was Sutton’s first public event as part of ParticipACTION’Community Challenge, and thanks to the participation of 100 residents and 21 volunteers, 4,689 minutes were logged for Sutton, which is coveting first place in Canada.
