Local boys and girls ages 13-17 are invited to attend the July 15 clinic on the field at Laggan Public School, starting at 9am. Under the auspices of veteran competitor Lisa MacDonald, teen athletes will be introduced to the heavyweight events and given an opportunity to try each, with spots in the Intermediate Heavyweights competition at the Glengarry Highland Games on the line.
The number of competitors for the Maxville Games will be capped at 8 this year.
Events will include the following: 10 lb. sheaf toss, 12 lb. hammer throw, 12 lb. stone throw, 14 lb. weight for distance, and caber turn.
Highland attire is encouraged, and parental supervision requested for the competition.
Clinic attendance is mandatory to qualify for the Aug. 5 competition, which this year will be moved to the infield, in front of the grandstand. In past years, it had been held outside the fenced area on one of the soccer fields.
The second annual Up the Glens Kilt run 5k will be held Saturday, Aug. 5, as part of the closing of the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville. Entry is $50, which includes admission to the Games for Saturday, along with a souvenir T-shirt and bib, and the use of a timing device.
The event is open to anyone 13 years of age and older, and as the name suggests, participants must wear a kilt.
Online registration is available here.
A video of the race course can be viewed below.
As staff and crews were getting ready for one of the biggest events of the season on Sunday evening at the Cornwall Motor Speedway, rain appeared, forcing the cancellation of a sixth program this season.
A total of 34 Modified class drivers had already signed in for the Super DIRTcar Series when a second shower hit the track at the end of the afternoon, leaving promoter Raymond Lavergne with no option but to cancel the show. A thunderstorm followed, solidifying the decision.
Drivers and fans who had purchased a ticket are invited to hold onto it for any of the next three programs on the schedule. Any value difference will be reimbursed.
The Speedway is currently working towards a remake date for the big-blocks and the Cindy Ladouceur-Danny Lefebvre Memorial Series. Please stay tuned, as The News will relay updates when we have them.
In the meantime, we have a story about two young local racers in this week's edition of The Glengarry News.
