Birds of a Feather Run Gains Momentum

We are greatly looking forward to the Birds of a Feather Run (a joint Rogue Valley Runners and Southern Oregon Runners event) that will happen here in Ashland three weeks from now. The run is a fund raiser for Erik Skaggs and the huge medical bill he accrued while suffering acute renal failure after his course record setting victory at the Where's Waldo 100 Kilometer USA Track and Field National Trail Championships. Donations for the Raffle that's associated with the race have finally come together. Tickets for this raffle can be obtained prior to the event at Rogue Valley Runners or at the event itself race day morning. See the flyer below for more information on those tickets.
