Marathon Game is the official end of the fall season

Vauxhall, AB – 

The 10th Annual Marathon game is officially underway beginning at 10am.  The Jets veterans held a draft last night before taking the field at 9:45 this morning.  It turned out to be a sunny yet cool fall day.  The game is a fun way to end the fall season before moving indoors when the real work gets started.  Thanks to everyone for their support of the 10th Annual Marathon game.
