Sufferfest 24 and 12 Hour Run, Sherwood Park, AB, June 14-15, 2025

Congratulations to our Regina runners with high boredom thresholds. Three runners completed an ultra at the Sherwood Park, Alberta - a timed event where they ran around a 400 m track. Jan Steenkamp is back - his leg injury post surgery had limited him to walking a maximum of 10 km, but he completed 51 km here! (9th M in 12 hour event). Tania Diener completed 61 km for 8th W in the 12 hour. And in the 24 hour, Chris Tetlock completed 125 km despite a leg injury suffered during the race.

Congrats runners, we admire your perseverance and ability to focus!

Reesor 50 and Mountain Marathon Results, Cypress Hills, May 17, 2025

Congrats to the runners who survived the inaugural Reesor 50 in Cypress Hills interprovincial park. The 50 miler (83 km) climbs a total of 2300 m, while the Mountain Marathon climbs 1250 m. Both events include single track trail and gravel road, and incredible views of the Cypress Hills scenery. Both distances start from the historic Reesor ranch. Yesterday was rainy, hailing, and with mud packed roads, adding to the challenge that the runners faced!

Extra congratulations to Abby Miller, the winner of the Women’s Reesor 50! Special mention to Jamie Tait, who rolled her ankle mid race but still managed to run 41 km!

Here are the results of the Marathon Matters members, and any Regina runners we know about - please comment if we missed any Regina runners.

Istrski Luka Koper Marathon, Ankaran, Slovenia, April 13,  2025

Congrats to Gay Renouf and Sandy MacDonald who travelled to the Istrski marathon in Slovenia. The race travels between four towns and alternates its start/finish town each year - this year  it started in  very small Ankaran. The course featured rolling hills, passing through industrial areas, large stone gravel, but also had kilometres on beautiful bike paths following the ocean coastline. Gay finished the marathon in 4:38:29, good for second in Women’s I division, and Sandy finished in 2:41:20, also in second place in Women’s J division. This was Gay’s 200th lifetime marathon. Sandy was our profiled athlete just a couple of days ago - check it out in the Get  to Know our Runners  section.

Baker to Vegas Relay, CA and NV, April 6, 2025

Congrats to Abbey Schmidt who ran in the RCMP team in the Baker to Vegas relay on April 6. 243 law enforcement teams from around the world race 120 miles through the desert and mountains from Baker, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. Abbey’s team finished in 20 hours and 45 minutes. Abbey’s stage was leg 14, an uphill grind of 17.2 km that she finished in 1:31. Congratulations, rock star!

Marrakech Marathon, Morocco

Congrats to mother goose herself on marathon #199, sounded like an adventure to say the least. Also to Milos on another strong marathon at 83!

---

"Things looked ominous at the start with 3 portapotties to serve 1500 marathoners and 7300 halfers. The course was nice, wide boulevards, accurately marked. But motorcycles and scooters kept zipping in and out across the runners. Not race vehicles - I mean a thousand motorbikes at least. It was the most air- polluted race I’ve ever been in.

I raced hard to the finish - 4:27:12 and expected to have a medal draped around my neck. Instead I stood in a crowd with hundreds of other finishers (including quite a few who did not look like they ran…)after 20 minutes, the yelling started. Chaos! All the yelling was in Arabic but it seems non-runners stole the medals.

But then…an Irish angel gave me a medal (a policeman gave her an extra one?)

Milos finished in 5:44:11 and although he’s 83!!, he was 9th in the M70+. Apparently I finished third in the under 9 girls- maybe they can sort that out. I think I was 7th in W60.

In case you’re wondering, the Marrakech marathon does not get my recommendation."
