Route 69-70 will be covered by Bryan Mintenko and the rest of team Prairie Portage! Bryan really started getting into running after he entered the Manitoba Marathon for the first time in 2006. If anything, the pandemic has made him run even more, and has encouraged him to sign up for many virtual races. Many of these races support charities which promote active transportation, trail development, and environmental protection - all which he feels passionately about.
Erin Selci has taken on route 73-74 that goes through the heart of Winnipeg. This is her first marathon, so she's hoping that running through the city will be more eventful than her typical country roads and loves the support that the Winnipeg running community provides. She started running through soccer when she was younger, but began tackling longer distances over the past 5 years. For her, the pandemic has provided an opportunity to run even more!
