Liz is a great runner and athlete all while maintaining her humility. In this episode we talk about her many running accomplishments both on road and trail and we talk about why she runs and the joy it brings her. We talk about her ascension from someone who felt like every run was a struggle all the way to her current status as one of Saskatchewan’s most accomplished runners. To get in touch with the podcast feel free to email Jason at [email protected]@SaskatchewRun Thanks for listening and remember to like and subscribe!

Our event was a complete success thanks to the support of Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, the Trailhead Cafe and the Saskatchewan Running Community. Runners braved the cold and the wind gusts of 90km/h so they could get a glimpse of the 20km course. We think this event has the potential to be something really special! For those who like cross country skiing the park has recently expanded a trail from the boat launch all the way to the Nicolle Homestead (probably around 15 km one way) which will be maintained for cross country skiing this winter. So if you are looking for a nice way to cross train and hang out with friends you should grab your skis, do the trail and stop at the Trailhead Cafe for some snacks and coffee. Once it snows of course To get in touch with the podcast feel free to email Jason at [email protected]@SaskatchewRun Thanks for listening and remember to like and subscribe!
