I hope many of
you can squeeze our seven-mile run into your holiday weekend. We’ll run on the
usual schedule, with an 8:00 start from the Eugene Running Company.
The distance
will be a big shy of seven miles, for good reason. This places our turnaround point at
the memorial wall in Skinner Butte Park, which honors the original meaning of
this holiday.
Our route:
Oakway and Coburg Roads to Ferry Street Bridge and don’t cross. Turn right onto
bike path, to Valley River footbridge and across. Turn left, past playground to
memorial site. Turn AROUND there and come back the same way: Valley River,
Ferry and store. GPS distance is 6.95 miles.
Bring a drink
for delivery at turnaround. Weather forecast: starting temperature in 50s and
dry.
The following
Sunday we build a pause into the schedule. That allows several of us to extend
our weekend at the Newport Marathon and Half (which fall on Saturday, June 3rd).
