The new TV mini-series titled "The Run," which aired for the first time this summer on the Sportsman Channel and is currently filming for a second season, is now up for four Sportsman Choice Awards.

The 2013 Sportsman Choice Awards are voted by the viewers and run through Dec. 1. The categories include best fishing show, best educational/instructional show, best host (local cast), and best new series.

"The Run" examines the impact of the annual salmon run as thousands of anglers converge on the village of Pulaski each fall to take advantage of it.

The producers, E Team Media, spent months in Pulaski last summer and fall filming and interviewing businesses, residents and visitors, and capturing the transformation of the village during this annual phenomenon.

Pat Donnelly, producer of the series, has been busy overseeing the filming of the show's second season. "We added Oswego into the mix, both the lake and the river. There will also be more steelhead fishing so we can show angling in all the weather elements," he said.

The first season of "The Run" began July 4 and reached more than 50 million homes this summer, airing nationally on the Sportsman Channel as well as locally and throughout New York on the Time Warner Sports Channel, according to the Oswego Department of Tourism.

The 2013 Sportsman Choice Awards are open to votes until Dec. 1. To vote, log onto the Sportsman Channel Facebook page.
