Footzone is one of several shops in Bend that is helping support COTA efforts with the new Wangoa trail network. We’re hoping to make some real progress toward completing the 30 miles of trail already approved for construction. Footzone will be hosting the trailwork every 1st Thursday night every month all summer long! The more volunteers we get, the sooner we’ll be riding some awesome new trails right here in Bend!
Interested? Of course you are! Sign up by stopping in or calling (ph#541-317-3568) Footzone. We’ll meet at the store at 5:30 PM. We’ll meet there and carpool to the work site. COTA will supply the tools and the “expertise”. You just need to show up ready to help build trail.
You need to bring/wear:
long pants
boots or sturdy footwear
eye protection (riding glasses with light lenses)
gloves
hydration pack with water and a snack.
We’ll work till around 8 or 8:30 getting back into town around 8:30 to 9.
Please let us know you’re coming so we know whether we’re bringing tools for 5 or 50 volunteers.
Leaving Bend for the summer? We are very dependable, clean and honest home owners. We are willing to rent your place, house-sit, or do a home exchange in downtown Ashland for July and August. We are runners and our quiet, high-school daughter will be attending the MBSEF xc ski camp this summer. We do have a well-behaved dog, Emmet. We are very good friends with Maura & Stan (CORK members in Madras). They house-sat for us last summer, so can tell you about our home (and dog) if you are interested in an exchange. Please contact Maura for more information. 541.475.0348 or monstan@hotmail.com Thanks, Adrienne, Sam and Haley

“Yaquina Challenge Run” 6K/10 mile Race against the Boats!
Saturday, August 23, 2008 at 10:00 am
The Port of Toledo, Oregon is the proud sponsor of the 2008 Port of Toledo Wooden Boat Show, an event designed for the whole family.
Back by popular demand is a fun twist to the “Yaquina Run-In” boat races: the “Yaquina Challenge Run” by local running clubs and individuals–with runners competing in either a 6K or a 10 mile race against the boats which launch their race at the same time! The scenic 10 mile race will start at the Elk City Boat Launch and the 6k race will start at Cannon Quarry Boat Launch at 10:00 with the boaters. The finish of their race will be in the heart of the 2008 Port of Toledo Wooden Boat Show, August 23-24, at the marina! Toledo is located only 10 minutes east of Newport on the beautiful central coast of Oregon.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT! If you are planning to participate in either the “Yaquina Runoff” boat race or the “Yaquina Challenge Run,” please email us at info@portoftoledo.org Your name and email address or mailing address are required for us to respond to you. We will respond with official entry forms that you can print, fill out and mail to us. Please note that you will not be officially registered until your actual forms & fee are received in the Port office. Race check-in will be at the Port office on Friday from 9:00 to 3:00 pm or at the Port Booth at the Marina from 8:00-9:30 am on Saturday.
There is a $20 registration fee per participant which includes a 2008 commemorative t-shirt. Registration forms & fees received before August 1st will also receive a commemorative “First Annual” poster at the Port Booth when you check in for the race. FREE basic camping on Depot Slough is also available for all participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note that the LATE registration fee after August 21 increases to $25 and a t-shirt is not guaranteed. For more information, visit our website at www.portoftoledo.org or call the Port office at (541) 336-5207
I’m trying to contact Nate Christiansen. I meet Nate a few weekends ago at the Bad Ass 50K. He gave me his phone number so that we could connect for a run. I’ve lost his phone number. Does anyone know a contact number or an e-mail address.
Thanks,
Trevor
