Runners and Walkers Get Ready for the Britt Woods Run
On July 13, dozens of local runners will take to the trails above the Britt grounds for the 12th-Annual Britt Woods Firehouse Run. This year, the exhibition run and walk will start at 7 a.m. sharp, traversing a 2 or 4 mile course through the incredibly beautiful Jacksonville Woodland Trail system. For kids, a 100-yard fun run will be held at 7:30 a.m. The main event is a 10k race at 8 a.m. featuring a staggered start for all runners. (All start times are based on age and sex.)
As always, lots of post-race prizes and cash awards will be provided. The event is a fundraiser for the volunteer fire department – Jacksonville Engine Company #1 – the oldest fire department in Oregon.
Race Director and Jacksonville resident Dr. Douglas Naversen invites runners and walkers to come out and enjoy the day, conquering the hills above the Britt Pavilion. For more information, contact Dr. Naversen at 541-890-7240 or bigderm@aol.com or register online at www.sorunners.org.
