The 31st Annual Autumn Summit Cross Country Run was held Friday, September 25 at the Saltcoats Regional Park.

 Over 1200 runners were registered for the event with 1032 runners actually competing from over 50 different schools in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “We have been close to having over 1000 runners compete in the past, so we are very excited to have reached this goal in our 31st year,” said Saltcoats School Principal Stephen Farquharson. “This cross country run is the largest in Western Canada and we are very fortunate to have so much support from the Good Spirit School Division and the communities of Saltcoats and Bredenbury as it takes a great deal of volunteers to be able to put this run on.”

This is the first time in Autumn Summit history that there have been over 1000 runners run in the various categories.
