A race with the words “fat ass” in the title is probably very appropriate to have shortly after the holiday season.

My wife called me from Atlanta on the morning of the 50th Annual Zena Road Runs. She had been checking her weather app and asked me if I was going to be running in the snow. I looked out our kitchen window at the partially overcast skies and said that blue skies were in the distance and that she should probably get a new app. However, as I headed from Salem over the bridge into Polk…

This year’s run will start and finish at St. Innocent Winery – a location every runner of the Zena Road Runs has run past since 1983.
