Dr. Doug Naversen
On Saturday, July 16, a record number of runners hit the trails for the 10th Annual Britt Woods Firehouse Run – 100 runners from across the state and western US took part – a record!
Congratulations to founder and Race Director Dr. Doug Naversen of Jacksonville on another sensational event. The 5k and 10k races traverse several sections of the Upper Britt Woods – a beautiful section of hilly, tree-lined trails above the Britt music pavilion. The challenging course comprises part of the Jacksonville Woodlands Association’s 30+ miles of trails looping the southwestern reaches of Jacksonville. (www.jvwoodlands.org)

The Britt Woods Firehouse Run is held every July in cooperation with the Southern Oregon Runners Association.
