Another Race Report

Two weekends in a row Katy and I have been involved as volunteers. Over the weekend we volunteered at the Mt. Hood PCT 50 Mile Trail Run. Yes, people run all day long without stopping for 50 grueling miles. This course runs along the Pacific Crest Trail and travels through a lot of tree cover, thank goodness since the temperatures rose into the upper 80’s.

I have spent the better part of the last five months working with Jerry Mark the race director re-develop a logo, order shirts and arm warmers, culminating with volunteering at the aid station. Thankfully, Katy and I were joined by Brad and Mark, who really know what the runners need as they are usually one of the runners. We all worked together well. I choose to believe we were the best aid station out there, and had the most fun.

It was nice to see how all the efforts put out for the event came together. The tee shirts were well received; unfortunately there were some sizing issues. The arm warmers turned out so cool, and even though it was hot it sounds like the runners appreciate them. Come fall with the temperatures dropping you can be assured there will be some MT. Hood PCT 50 arm warmers out on the trail. I even got a pair, I plan to wear them tandem cycling on those cold mornings training rides.

Pictures to come (hopefully).
