ESTEVAN — Runners of all ages gathered at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course on Oct. 26 to participate in Run the Course, a non-timed run organized by Fresh Air Fitness, a free outdoor gym in Woodlawn Regional Park. The event, which attracted more than average with about 60 runners, was free to participate in. People could donate towards the facility for ongoing maintenance and future development needs.
Fresh Air Fitness is operated by Peggy Rohatyn and Debbie Knight, who have been instrumental in providing the Estevan community with a space to exercise outdoors without the burden of membership fees. The gym, located in the free part of the park, features a variety of fitness equipment designed for users of all fitness levels.
Run the Course was a family-friendly event, encouraging participants of all ages and fitness abilities to join. With a focus on community spirit rather than competition, the event was non-timed, allowing runners and walkers to enjoy the scenic route at their own pace. Organizers arranged for multiple distances, ensuring that everyone could find a suitable challenge.
Rohatyn expressed gratitude to participants, volunteers and local businesses who supported the event, especially to Ward Tuttle, who's been the event sponsor since its inception, and the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course.
