    Just came across this video again….WHAT A MEMORY! Our team will forever talk about this year! So many runners DNF’d due to the heat and exhaustion. We had to tie the finish line aid tent to a flat deck trailer so it didn’t take out the spectators at the staging area! And the PICKLES saved many a runner this year! This race is an epic annual event for us and we appreciate seeing this view and follow along with you as many of us never see beyond our aid tent! Thanks for sharing Jeff!

    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!

    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 ;)

    Those hills looked SO punchy! And by the strava profile it sure was. Such a cool and unique race for that region of Canada for sure. I kind get Lake Sonoma vibes? Rolling, punchy, mostly packed and runnable, probably shaped and formed by similar geological effects. Thanks for taking us along!

    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!
