Looks like a fun race with spectacular scenery. I've only watched a few of your videos so far and I have to say this is becoming my favorite running channel. First rainy day we get I'll have to binge watch and get caught up with the rest of your videos :) Keep up the great work!

Awesome, thanks Gary! Looking forward to hearing what you think of some of the others.

first off, thank you for being one of the only out-of-provincers to pronounce Saskatchewan correctly! Been watching you for a while now, cool to see you in my home province

Awesome video.. 2019 i was the last runner 😀😀

@Sanko1960 2 жыл бұрын

The variety of footage really helps you to get a visceral sense of what looks like an incredible course - shots of the long lines of runners strung out across the landscape, of one or two runners in from of you, of the trail right at your feet, of the trail from high above, of the trail a few feet or a few hundred yards in front of you, etc.. Excellent editing and music! Good recap too. Thank you for taking us along on your run.

As someone who lives in Saskatchewan......WOW! I have never been to Sask Landing Provincial Park before, but it has been on our list of camping spots for a couple years now. Saskatchewan has so many hidden wonders where it completely shocks you when you see it. I often hear people say "that's Saskatchewan?" Anyways....enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful place. The only thing I knew about Saskatchewan before this was the wheat fields and open plains (I'm from Ireland). With a name like Beaver Flat I wasn't expecting this! A trail runners paradise. If I ever get to Canada I would love to do this. You did a fantastic job showcasing this Jeff, amazing and fourth place to boot. If you'd ditched the camera to get on the podium we would never have seen this so really appreciate it!! Your films are fast becoming my lunch time viewing here ;)

That 360 top-down view is such a surreal thing to get to witness Also, it's cool to get a comparison for elevation gains and distances vs the park where I hike/run. Brings a good amount of confidence to see that the overall gain per distance is only maybe ~200-300 more feet per 10k than what I'm used to. Very encouraging!
