New start at finish
Man proposes after road race
By Denis LANGLOIS,

Keith MALHOTRA proposed to his girlfriend twice Monday.
It's not that Jenna
URBSHOTT had to think about how to answer,
but after running 13 kilometres from Oliphant to Wiarton, she
was too out of breath and exhausted to get out the response right
away.
So MALHOTRA got down on one knee and asked again. The answer?
Yes.
"I was definitely shocked,"
URBSHOTT said in an interview. "I
definitely did not anticipate that at a race."
The couple was about the cross the finish line in Monday's Wiarton
Shore-to-Shore Road Race when
MALHOTRA pulled out a ring from
the back of his shorts and asked his girlfriend of four-and-a-half
years to marry him.
When she didn't answer right away, that's when he got down on
one knee.
URBSHOTT said her fiance is a "spontaneous guy," but she still
didn't see it coming that day.
"The trick is trying to work it out… to make it a surprise,"
MALHOTRA said.
He bought the ring in Toronto in mid-June but had been thinking
about the marriage proposal for about a year. He decided to do
it at the end of the race both because it's in her hometown of
Wiarton and running is a passion for them.
The pair met in residence at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo,
starting out as Friends and eventually dating.
She graduated with a bachelor's degree in French and recently
finished teacher's college.
He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology
and physical education. Both are currently working at Bruce Power.
URBSHOTT said she's been running competitively for about five
years and
MALHOTRA started about a year later. It was their third
time running in the shore-to-shore race together.
Usually MALHOTRA runs a little ahead of
URBSHOTT, but with the
proposal planned, they crossed the finish line at the same time.
Race assistant director Gordon
HEINRICH said the wedding proposal
was the talk of the race afterwards.
