Eleventh Annual Look Gopher Attack
This boutique marathon, the fastest marathon course in Western Canada, is the earliest of the three major Saskatchewan marathons. It comprises two distances, marathon and half marathon. Cash prizes are offered for male and female finishers, three deep, in each distance. The event is a fund raiser for the MS Society of Canada.
