It was a quite weekend in the area but a few events on the schedule made it into our TVO Roundup, including a repeat winner.
The spring schedule is heating up, too, with everything from 5K fundraisers to timed endurance events. Be sure to check out the schedule below to find one to enjoy in the next few weeks.
