The Brooklin Horticultural Society hosted a reception for runners of the first lap of the Monarch Ultra Marathon Run which began in Peterborough on September 19th. Brooklin’s Grass Park was the first official stop that day. About fifty people were on hand to welcome the runners. Durham Master Gardeners, CLOCA, Whitby in Bloom and other interest groups were on hand to welcome the runners as was Councillor Steve Lee attending on behalf of the Mayor, as well as Councillor Deidre Newman. After the presentations were made, a tagged monarch was released. The marathon relay will ultimately finish on November 4 at Cerra Pelon Park in Mexico, a total distance of 4300km.
