Lance Run

Posted by Nicole Charles

I’m not exactly sure what this area is called on the highway but here are the coordinates (54.6535823, -105.7986778) is where the Lance Run will start.

Runners will start running approximately 11:45. We will be doing 50kms today. If you drive by us feel free to wave and honk to show your support for our runners ☺️ Once the Lance is going it can’t stop until we have hit the 50kms so if you want to bring freezes or anything thing you can call me and I can have the 89ers van or one of our support vehicles park on the side of the road. 306-420-9153 😊
