“My primary vision was setting people in motion. Getting them out and about, breathing in fresh wholesome air and getting fit at the same time. The event snowballed beyond our wildest dreams and became popular with people of all ages, from all walks of life and people with loads of enthusiasm. We were astounded at the success and coming together of our small community in Melfort signing up to walk, run, participate and just get moving. Proof, that anything is possible. I, with the help of a fantastic team, set a small dream of mine in motion, literally. And so, the First Annual Melfort Multi-K was born, and it was a booming success…”
