In 2017, I was fortunate to remain uninjured and to participate in an average of two organized races each month. Some of them were races I had done before, and some were brand new to me this year. Apart from relays, I stuck to 5k to 10k distances. It was very difficult to narrow it down to just a few, so I picked my favorite race in each of the four seasons: Wurstfest 5k/10k (Mount…
After participating in several very big races this spring, I was really looking forward to the Canby 5k, a small town, small group race on a new-to-me route. With 140 participants in the 5k and just 36 in the 10k, the race promised to be less crowded and much fun. Canby is just 15 minutes from my home, and with a 10am start time, we didn’t even have to get up early! I had signed…

Spring of 2013 I first heard of The Canby Dahlia Run…. and although I had never done more than one 5K race at that time, I knew that the half marathon would be on “my list” of must do races. Well, fast forward 2 years and although I’m currently not quite up to the 13.1 miles I love so much, I am over the moon excited to participate in the 10K distance this year. If you…
The Canby 5k and 10k for Young Life takes place on Saturday, June 13th. The 10:01am start time is later than many other races, which makes it easy to get to after breakfast. Proceeds from the race benefit Young Life camp scholarships as well as the Canby High School track & field and cross country teams.
I know, this is sort of short notice, but this looks like a fun race for a great cause, so check it out! The Canby 5k, sponsored by Country Financial, is a fund raiser for Young Life. There is a 5k and a 10k, a BBQ, a Dragon Maze, and live music. And I like that the race starts at the odd time of 10:01a! But here’s why you need to hit “share” and post…
