Congrats to Joe for finishing 9th at the extremely competitive North Face 50 Miler down in San Francisco on December 5th.

Great race reports from winner Uli and second plane finisher Geoff.

Ruben, Stan, and Tuuli ran the inaugural 5k Turkey Trot Time Trial (5kTTTT) at the Cleveland High track Thanksgiving morning. Light drizzle gave way to downpour about one mile in, making for a tough effort.

Results:

1. Stan - 16:00
2. Ruben - 16:31
3. Tuuli - Not Timed

Ruben and Julie raced this past Sunday at the 4th Cross Crusade race out in Hillsboro, OR.

Join us on Sunday, December 13th for a low key, high action 50k run in Portland's Forest Park.

Full details to come, but expect 30 plus miles of singletrack, lots of mud, rain, and beer. In that order.

For more info, contact run organizers Russ and Kate via our email list.
