‘Run for the Pumpkin’ returns Sept. 21 at Nicholas Sheran Park

Lethbridge Polytechnic will be hosting the annual “Run for the Pumpkin” community event Sept. 21 at Nicholas Sheran Park. The event will be followed by the Running Room Grand Prix #3 at noon. 

The Kodiaks men’s and women’s cross-country teams are ready for the new athletics season in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. 

Last season at the ACAC championships, the men’s team claimed a bronze medal and the women’s placed fifth overall. The men’s team, along with one female runner, qualified for nationals hosted in Truro, N.S. – where they represented Lethbridge. 

Over the summer, the Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA) honoured the Kodiaks cross-country program with “Sport Supremacy” recognition. This accolade celebrated the team’s outstanding achievements and dedication, as the Kodiaks were named the Number One cross-country team in the CCAA. 

The Kodiaks look to keep their legacy going with a goal of making it back to nationals being hosted by St. Clair College in Windsor, ON in early November.
