 It's day two of the annual Anishinaabe sobriety run and this year might just see some of their biggest participation numbers yet. The four-day run always happens around the first week of August. It starts in Red Lake and goes to Leech Lake on the first day, then Leech Lake to Grand Rapids on day two, Grand Rapids to Floodwood on day three, then day four the runners end in Sawyer where everyone participates in a special sobriety powwow. This year more than 40 runners participated in the first two days and those runners spanned all generations. Some of the things that are involved here with the exercise and seeing my grandkids live a good life I just cherish that and like I said I've been involved with we've been involved with for the last seven years. I feel like the world needs to change and well not just that but like the people especially on our reservations like drugs are a big thing around here and it needs to change. Runners can come and go as they please and anyone who wishes to join is welcome to hop in anywhere along the road.
