BART YASSO Coming to Saskatoon!

Pasta Dinner brought to you by Craven SPORT Services

Join us on Saturday, May 26 at 5:00 p.m. The folks at TCU Place are planning a great pasta meal -- and will also provide a gluten free option if you need one. 

Running USA Hall of Champions inductee Bart Yasso will be our special guest speaker this year.

Bart offers a touching and humorous presentation about the rewards and challenges of running. Dubbed the “Mayor of Running,” Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career over a decade ago. With insight and humor, Bart chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he’s experienced while competing in more than 1,500 competitive races on all seven continents. For more information on Bart Yasso’s impressive list of accomplishments, check out www.bartyasso.com
