Understanding The Benefits Of Physiotherapy

“I have been involved with the Saskatchewan Marathon for many years – dating back to 1997 when I first became president of the Saskatoon Road Runners Association (SRRA). Since then I have watched our event grow from a few hundred participants to our 2016 total of just over 4000 participants! It is the support of Brainsport, Craven SPORT services, Goodlife Fitness, PotashCorp, the City of Saskatoon, and others that help make this event so successful. The event’s popularity is directly related to the changes and improvements we make each year. For example, several years ago we added the 10k race to our event and numbers started to grow dramatically. Four years ago we added the 5k event. This popular addition has now PATIENT SPOTLIGHT Hear What Our Patients Have To Say!

become the Craven SPORT services 5k and participation continues to increase. The success of our MaraFUN event has been outstanding. This event, supported by Craven SPORT services and SIGA, now attracts more than 1000 kids who, over the course of a few weeks, run the equivalent of a marathon distance. Their last couple of kilometres are completed on race day where they

cross the same finish line as the marathoners. This may be one of the most exciting events to watch as more than 1000 kids stream across the finish line. Craven SPORT services is an important partner in our success. They provide sponsorship for our 5K race, regular newsletters and videos providing training advice for our race participants, on-course support during the marathon, and are actively involved in motivating the MaraFUN participants. The SRRA’s partners have helped make the Saskatchewan Marathon the Province’s finest running event” - Peter G.
