There were plenty of wet sneakers at the end of the Forestry Trail Run hosted by St. Elias Community School in Haines Junction on Friday.
It’s the only school race in the Yukon that requires crossing a creek.
About 230 runners from Yukon schools took part in the races, which included three- and five-kilometre categories.
Porter Creek Secondary, the only Whitehorse high school at the event, collected the most medals with 11. The hosting St. Elias School was second with 10, ahead of Elijah Smith School in third with seven.
Friday’s run was the third in the Yukon School Association’s Cross-Country Run series. The final event will be the Vanier Trail Run this Friday.
