Nate Coates joins us this morning to talk about the RUNway happening this Saturday.

So tell me, Nate, what can we expect this Saturday?

Well, there's going to be a lot of running.

It's, uh, we got, we got a 10K and a 5K, uh, and it all starts at our beautiful new Peggy May Legacy Center.

And then, uh, we take the runners around site.

Um, it's, it's, uh, we also have a kid's run and that, uh, that kicks off at 10 o'clock.

And, uh, the best news about this race this year is we're sold out already.

So we've sold out our 10K and our 5K.

Um, so we're very excited about that.

Um, we're going to see some, some, some great runners on Saturday and it's going to be a great time.

Now, as a director myself, to have like Tuesday and four days ahead sold out, man, that's a good feeling.

People all over the province, Saskatchewan, beyond?

Yeah, we got people from everywhere that like to come to this race.

It's a big draw.

So we've kind of made a little bit of a name for ourselves.

And it's nice that it's a September run too.

You never really know what you're going to get for weather, but we've had some nice days.

We've had some rainy days, but we've had some nice days too.

Yeah, rain or shine, running is running, right?

That's right, running's

running.

I can't imagine doing it in July out on that runway with the

heat.

That might be a little brutal.

Yeah, we did one out there in July or the last weekend of June and it was way too hot.

It was a hot day.

Yeah, and it's just no shade, no nothing.

That's

right.

And you have sponsors, of course, and we always want to encourage thanking these sponsors.

That's right.

You know, we couldn't do it without the sponsors.

They've been a huge help in getting this all put together year after year.

But we'd like to thank MNP, KF Aerospace, Resolute Technology Solutions, Smitty's, Portage La Prairie, Homestead Co-op, of course, Golden West.

Shane Creasy Construction, Keystone Sports Excellence, Pro Image, Portage Physiotherapy.

Without all those supporters, we couldn't put on such a good event.

Yeah, and also a big thank you to everyone who registered because, well, one, you're doing the work, and two, you're raising the money.

That's right.

Yeah, that's right.

And the money all goes to the foundation, and that's a huge, huge thing for us too.

They've helped us out every year, and we've helped them out every year, and it's a great partnership between the two entities.
