Melissa and Jason Burns had a new way to introduce a new trail race for next year. They hosted a “soft open” of the Tall Shadows Ultra out at Buffalo Pound this past weekend. The event in 2027 will feature a 50, 20, 10 and 5 km. This year the group just ran the 20 km on Saturday in a non competive setting and then were treated to a meal at the Trailhead Cafe. The response was amazing as per usual from the Sask running community. With only four weeks notice they had 65 people sign up. Unfortunately the app Jason used to make the gpx files was very inaccurate so people were expecting around 300 meters of vertical gain only to find the course to have 800-1100 meters (depending on the watch) of gain in only 20 km! People seemed thrilled with the event anyway. Sunday they ran the 5 and 10 km course and had another good turnout with some young cross country athletes from Moose Jaw and Caronport showing up for the run. The park itself is 100 percent onboard and supportive and Jason and Melissa hope to make this another jewel in the crown on the already amazing Sask racing calendar going forward.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Tomczak who did double duty at the Canadian Mountain running championships. She traveled to Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec to help coach the junior Saskatchewan team; but while there, also ran the trail marathon. The trail was mostly single track that climbed and descended 1145 m! Liz placed an amazing 4th in the women’s 30 age group, in 4:46:02!

Congrats to Jacqueline Myers, one of our fearsome but goofy Canada Goose race directors, who just finished the Grizzly 50 k ultra on Saturday. The course is on the cross country ski trails at the Canmore Nordic centre - it climbed and descended 1400 m on light snow cover. And the race is made more exciting by the requirement that runners have to carry bear spray!

Jackie ran 7:17:23 for 13th in W30. Well done!!
