On July 12, 2014, join dozens of local runners taking to the trails above the Britt grounds for the 13th-Annual Britt Woods Firehouse Run. This year, the exhibition short-loop 1.9 mile and 4.9 mile short-loop runs start at 7:00am sharp, traversing the incredibly beautiful Jacksonville Woodland Trail system. For kids, a 100-yard fun run starts at 7:30am. The main event, a 10k race, which includes the short and long loops, starts at 8:00am with staggered start times based on age and sex.
As always, lots of post-race prizes, trophies, ribbons, medallions 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 entrants and spectators to come out and enjoy the day, conquering the hills above the Britt Pavilion.
