It’s no surprise that race fees can get a little pricey over the course of a year. That’s why runners need to know about all kinds of great events out there to offset the cost of the big boys that we all know and love. If you happen to live around the Salem area, or are interested in making a short little jaunt every month, I have listed out how to run in one race…

One rainy April Fools Day I participated in a small race in Stayton, put on by local fitness center, Where to Start. It was their inaugural event, and despite the small number of runners, they were as committed to fitness and also to Where to Start as I had seen. Since that time, Where to Start Fitness continues to be going strong in helping small towns east of Salem achieve their fitness needs. Their main…

Sometimes we all just need a little low-key running in our lives. The 5th Annual Stayton River Run, coming up on April 30, 2016, can fill that void quite well. This event is low-key AND low-cost, at only $10 per runner in both the 5k and 10k distances. But any race that has stuck around for half a decade has surely worked out some kinks over time, irregardless of being a professional event. The 5k and…
I am an absolute lover of all K9’s. I have two fur-babies whom I couldn’t imagine being without, and whom I have even FaceTimed with while across the country visiting friends. Man’s best friend is a worthy and true companion, lover of bones, barking, squirrels and mud puddles. Dogs are amazing. And, a select few are used as “locating tools” on different police forces, helping our peace officers track evidence and apprehend criminals. No other…
Oregon is chock full of running events on Independence Day. One of the longest running is the 32nd annual Stayton Fun Run. The 10k, 5k, and 3k courses all start just prior to Stayton’s 4th of July Festival. From the website: This event began as the Blue Grass Run in 1983. It was part of Stayton’s former Blue Grass Festival. With the demise of the festival, the runs and walks shifted to a 4th of July event in…
