This is one of the most exposed races in Canada. There is very little cover and being an object moving through the prairies means the sun is always on you. Bring sunscreen and some extra for later.
Description
There are a few exit points that require you to make your own trail through the prairie grassland.
The race is located at Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park. Turn into the park at Goodwin House (it's the big old grey house just south of the bridge).
Difficulty
Moderate
High Exposure
Some trail sections have exposed ledges or steep ascents/descents where falling could cause serious injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
