Historic Reesor Ranch, Sask.
The Reesor 50 is an unforgettable adventure through the rugged beauty of the Cypress Hills. The journey takes you across rolling meadows, winding trails, and beneath the towering conglomerate cliffs that stand as silent guardians of the land.
Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park provides a striking and rugged backdrop for the Reesor 50 . Historic Reesor Ranch is one of the province’s oldest working ranches. This area with its rolling grasslands, dense forests, and dramatic coulees have been shaped by generations of ranchers and Indigenous peoples before them. Runners traversing this landscape follow in the footsteps of those who have long navigated these hills—whether on horseback, on foot, or through the rhythms of daily life on the land. The race is not just a test of endurance but a journey through a piece of Saskatchewan’s living history, where the wide-open spaces and deep-rooted stories of the prairie come together in a challenge unlike any other.
