I love doing this race; the money that is raised is donated to the local high school's athletic program. And this is a seriously underfunded school system. The town it takes place in is so pathologically afraid of raising taxes that they purchased a bunch of hideous modular classrooms rather than upgrade the elementary school because it was cheaper in the short run. Always a good idea: shortchange your children. That never backfires.
The other reason I love this run is because the primary sponsor is the best shoe store in eastern Oregon and they usually have a great swag bag. Hey, I don't always
have to be altruistic. I wasn't able to get any good photos of the race this year, unfortunately.

| I did get some bad ones, though. |

| See what I mean? Look how disappointed in me that lady on the right edge is. |
 |
| I have no idea why I took this photo, even less idea why I'm posting it now. |
I did get an okay picture of the swag though.
 |
| A pen, chap-stick, a polishing cloth for cell phone screens, a foot buffer, a reusable grocery bag, a t-shirt and a... what the hell? |
 |
| Yes! That thing! What the hell is that? |
