Looks like a fun race with spectacular scenery. I've only watched a few of your videos so far and I have to say this is becoming my favorite running channel. First rainy day we get I'll have to binge watch and get caught up with the rest of your videos :) Keep up the great work!
Awesome, thanks Gary! Looking forward to hearing what you think of some of the others.
first off, thank you for being one of the only out-of-provincers to pronounce Saskatchewan correctly! Been watching you for a while now, cool to see you in my home province
Awesome video.. 2019 i was the last runner 😀😀
Man, I never knew I wanted to go to Saskatchewan before now. Thanks a lot Jeff, now I have a new bucket list race
If you do triathlon, there’s a great race (Frank Dunn Triathlon - a bit longer than Olympic distance) in Prince Albert National Park as well.
As someone who lives in Saskatchewan......WOW! I have never been to Sask Landing Provincial Park before, but it has been on our list of camping spots for a couple years now. Saskatchewan has so many hidden wonders where it completely shocks you when you see it. I often hear people say "that's Saskatchewan?" Anyways....enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing.
Love it! Look forward to checking this out on Monday!!
The variety of footage really helps you to get a visceral sense of what looks like an incredible course - shots of the long lines of runners strung out across the landscape, of one or two runners in from of you, of the trail right at your feet, of the trail from high above, of the trail a few feet or a few hundred yards in front of you, etc.. Excellent editing and music! Good recap too. Thank you for taking us along on your run.
Great video as always Jeff!
Great video yet again Jeff! Well done and thanks for taking us along on the race. Inspiring!
So epic Jeff. Wonderful doc. Loved the music to this one and that drone footage of you heading to the finish was stunning. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to film during your race. Look forward to the next one!
These just keep getting better and better, Jeff. Whatever you did there at the 3:30 mark of the video looked amazing! Congrats on another great race and another fantastic video!
Another great Video Jeff, thanks for the intro to Sask.
Love it Jeff keep up the good work.
I've been trying to watch all your videos. They're great!!
Great video, as expected! Nice track, different from the tipical mountain/forest combo. I especially liked the music in this one and I really enjoyed seeing Jeff having fun and enjoying the race without having to hit some predefined goal! All the best to all you runners our there!
Beautiful race with beautiful scenery! Fantastic video!
Pretty great race Jeff, what an amazing scenery in this place!
Awesome video as always! Loved the random scattered "hippy unicorns" cheering on top of mountains 🙂
Definetly one of my favorite running channel!
Music and landscape matching perfect. Thanks Jeff for sharing.
Great to watch this race, thanks!!! 😍👍🏻
Great film! And congratulations on a great race.
Great doc. I've ran race 3 years and this was by far the toughest! But finished:)
Thank you for posting this. You have inspired me to live a more healthier lifestyle.
Epic stuff. Great that you could merge in that great drone footage of you running on the ridge.
Great doc again Jeff, with wonderful imagery. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place. The only thing I knew about Saskatchewan before this was the wheat fields and open plains (I'm from Ireland). With a name like Beaver Flat I wasn't expecting this! A trail runners paradise. If I ever get to Canada I would love to do this. You did a fantastic job showcasing this Jeff, amazing and fourth place to boot. If you'd ditched the camera to get on the podium we would never have seen this so really appreciate it!! Your films are fast becoming my lunch time viewing here ;)
Really beautiful !
Looks like a great run.
But my feet and legs cried in pain, just watching those steep ups- and downs 😀
It is always inspiring watching you pick people off on a "B" race !! Thank you for that !!!
Excited to watch this!
Thanks for taking us along through this great scenery, and providing interesting background information as well.
Keep up doing so! Looking forward to your Namibia race documentary, wishing you all the best and a safe race!
Thanks so much!
Jeff, really good video, thanks for putting it together and sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You make awesome content Jeff. Watching it, it's somehow mentally relaxing, yet motivational. Thank you
Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words.
Another great video. Thanks again for sharing your journey. All the way from Sheffield UK.
Thanks Peter!
Well done Jeff. Looks a unique landscape
Wow what a race, definitively on my bucket list!!
Can't wait!
As always an amazing film of beautiful trails and scenery! Music matched it brilliantly too!
Well done on your run and look forward as always to the next adventure!🙌🙌😃
Thanks Liz!
Another great film Jeff! Loved the visuals of such a stunning landscape as well as your calm, composed attitude and friendly nature while running a race (aka training run)! The recap was much appreciated as a new ultra runner myself, it’s always great to hear how an elite athlete breaks down their run! 👍
Thanks Ty! Glad to hear the recap at the end was helpful, that’s something new I’m experimenting with.
This footage is so beautiful! ⛰️🏃🏼😃👍
Really enjoyable film to watch Jeff. Love the relaxed approach you took, and I'm surprised at the beauty found along the course! Cheers!
I ran the course this past weekend and it’s every bit as beautiful as Jeff captures here, a must run for anyone within driving distance. Luckily it was 15*C and very mild winds, so it was a fantastic day.
Beautiful scenery plus great song well done bro👍👍
Beautiful landscapes , thanks for the treat! Have a great race in October:)
Thanks Remi!
Another winner, Jeff. Love the way you tell the story of the race and the area while also providing little tips along the way. You're really honing your skills. Very proud to be a $ supporter of your work. Kudos.
🙏 I always appreciate your encouragement and of course your continued support of the channel!
What a fun looking race! I love the supporters along the way!!!! Ultraraces are so great!!!! Thanks for another incredible video, Jeff!!!
This was definitely a fun race! The ultra running community is the best.
Great video Jeff! Looks like a beautiful part of Canada.
Thanks Brennan, the prairies are definitely worth a visit.
It's a increible report!!! Thank's for film a beautiful race :) and congratulations....
Thanks so much!
Great video, cool shots and the atmosphere well conveyed. Great cinema
🙏
Great video! You are very inspirational!
Thanks Brian!
From what I have seen on your videos Canada is gorgeous......hope to visit sometime and see some of it for my self 😁😁
Very cool video man! I am from Saskatchewan and this makes me want to start running just so I can experience this for myself. Super cool!
Thanks Kelby! Glad to hear that.
Great 50k documentary. Loved it! 🙌
Thanks Marius!
Awesome! Would love to check this race out!
Such a great movie, well done Jeff.
Thanks David!
good video and good race, look forward to see the videos from the Namibia race and you should do well there
I enjoyed that, well done on putting it all on film Jeff. It looks an epic event & love the fact it's called the Beaver Flat 😂🏃
Thanks so much. Definitely not aptly named, almost ironic 😂
great to watch. as usual. good luck for namibia.
Thank you!
This was awesome thank you! I live in AB but I’m from MB so I think I’ll check it out! Definitely looking at this for my first 50K thanks to this video.
Thanks Fjola, this would be an excellent first 50k.
I never expected to see so many hills in Saskatchewan. Looked like a fun race. Really enjoyed your film.
Thanks!
Great recap! Nice touch.
Thanks Alan!
Those hills looked SO punchy! And by the strava profile it sure was. Such a cool and unique race for that region of Canada for sure. I kind get Lake Sonoma vibes? Rolling, punchy, mostly packed and runnable, probably shaped and formed by similar geological effects. Thanks for taking us along!
I haven’t run Lake Sonoma but it sounds like similar terrain for sure.
Thanks 🙏 Jeff. Another great video. Loving them. Currently have planter fasciitis and can’t run 🏃🏻♂️. Keep up the good work 👍🏃🏻♂️
Thanks David! Sending healing vibes your way.
@@JeffPelletier thank you 🙏
Great job! Great video!
Thanks!
Interesting race. A slice of Saskatchewan I would never have known about otherwise. I could definitely see why that might be similar to Yakima. Jealous of the Namibia trip: that country looks gorgeous.
Thank you for bringing this run and Sasklanding to life. I was one of the last finishing.
Congrats on getting it done under such challenging conditions!
I enjoy your race very much, muchas felicidades!
Gracias!
Great vibes; kudos for the music!
Glad you thought the music was a good fit!
dreamlike scenery! so beautiful!
It really was beautiful terrain.
Wow, what a scenery! That’s the one I would love to run! Greetings!
It was a hell of a day this year, looking fwd to seeing how you handled the heat and wind. 😖
Annnnnd you killed it 🙌🏼
Awesome... Congrats!!!
Thanks so much!
The drone footage of the ridge run is exceptional
That 360 top-down view is such a surreal thing to get to witness
Also, it's cool to get a comparison for elevation gains and distances vs the park where I hike/run. Brings a good amount of confidence to see that the overall gain per distance is only maybe ~200-300 more feet per 10k than what I'm used to. Very encouraging!
Thanks Jeremy, that 360 camera is definitely a lot of fun. Keep it up!
Another fantastic video. Canadian tourism board need to pay you!
That last ridge footage using the drone was something special
Andrew killed it with those shots.
Music at the start of the race? Love this channel btw, such a good source of inspiration.
Dude those last drones shots coming down that ridge!!! jeeeeez
Andrew did an amazing job with those drone shots for sure.
I really like your videos, always giving me ideas, always pushing me for a next run. So as you're going to Namibia, can I ask if you ever considered the marathon des sables?
Hey Erwin, MDS is definitely high on my list for one day! It’s very expensive though 😬
Since I wasn't able to run it this year (I was wearing a beaver costume at race HQ instead), it's wonderful to see this to remind me how beautiful it is out there. Those hot and windy conditions though. 😬
It was definitely a challenge this year! Loved the beaver costume.
Amazing video and beautiful scenery! Which Salomon vest are you using here? Any vest advice for someone running their first 50k next summer?
You and I have a different opinion on what a "fast course" is haha. Great video!
😉
dude...u should run and publish twice a day...loving the product
Awesome video again Jeff. Thank you for documenting the race. I think that you should get some funding from the Tourism Board of SK for how you showcased the region!
Quick question: where do you stash your GoPro and Insta X2 as you swap in between them?
Thanks Greg! I keep my GoPro in my front pockets, either my shorts or pack, and I shove my Insta360 on the pole in the back of my pack where the bladder would normally go.
@@JeffPelletier thank you for taking the time to reply. I greatly appreciate it!
My calves cramped up watching this!! 😂😂. They still remember how hard it was this year!
😂
Your videos are amazing and love watching your adventures!
Are you using a drone? If so what one?
Thanks! In this video, the drone footage was provided by an employee of Saskatchewan Parks (it illegal to fly in Provincial Parks in Canada).
NZ crew checking in
Awesome. Exactly the kind of event i’d like to participate ! Seems to be runable…there are so many stone and rocks here into the Pyrenees ! I have been pacer past friday night during a 100 miles…
Thanks Nicolas. Definitely very different than the Pyrenees, although I’m quite jealous that you get to live there!
@@JeffPelletier we all want what we do not have...but anyway, hope i'll get the chance to see you when you'll come back in France...it would be a pleasure to share a run or a walk
Beautiful land.
gotta power up those hills buddy
Another GREAT movie!
Who is the singer near the end of the video?
Awesome video! Curious, how are you getting drone footage of the race while also racing?!
Thanks David! The drone footage was provided by the race.
I know I'm late but I used to live in that city. I became a cyclist so to speak while living there and let me tell you the wind is real.
Please take me there 🥺🥺🥺 it looks nice scenery, I really wanna run there 😢
Amazing ! How did you manage to fit in drone shots ?
The drone footage was filmed by Andrew Hiltz. He just happened to catch me on that final ridge!
As soon as you said “In the hills of Saskatchewan “, and right before you actually said it, asked the very same question out loud…Saskatchewan has hills? I really wasn’t listening in geography class way back in high school!
😂
would this area be a good for a trail run trip for end of October? thinking of trip ideas that involve trail running. i am from Ontario, thanks
October in much of the bottom third of SK can be either gorgeous fall weather of the beginning of winter with snow so you need to watch the forecasts and keep your fingers crossed.
Have you ever or are you ever planning on doing the Leadville 100?
I would like to run Leadville one day for sure!
Post-race poutine? Sign me up!
I'm considering rating all races in the future based on the quality of their post-race poutines.
Funny that it's called Beaver FLAT :D
Apparently, it named after a nearby town.. but not very appropriately 😂
My best vidéo, i want to do this race, Jeff i love your vidéo, big love from Québec🤗🏃♂️💨🏔
