highlights of the year

Autumn is in full swing with events that will take us into 2015, but let's take a look at some of the pretty stuff from this past month. 

Superheroes were made September 28 at the Multnomah Falls Trail Run. Tom "Clark Kent" Ferrell was the first male to finish in a superhero costume (third overall male), and Morgan "Swix" Denny the first female to finish in a superhero costume (second overall female.) Both went home with fifths of craft-brewed liquor. 

For all the official results, just check out our link here. The top three male and female finishers received trophies, plus there were age group awards, and then there were the special awards. Ene Sokk won the Volunteer of the Year Award, which included a pound of Small Town Roasters coffee. Marla Stone won the Best Costume award with her super chef capron (cape apron) outfit, complete with tongs and spatula that the Pine Hollow Barbeque Cookoff Champion used to paddle fellow runners as she ran by. Her prize was a free running biomechanic evaluation by New Heights. 

The costume runner-up award, Miss Congeniality, was won by Amy "Batgirl" Al-khalisi, a free massage courtesy of Back in Motion Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation. Another pound of sweet, sweet coffee courtesy of Small Town Roasters was awarded to Shanda Button for taking video of the race and making hula hoops to give away to key volunteers Jeanne and Eric. In addition, special thanks goes out to "new Poppa" Doug. He won a baby girl. And our thanks.

The weekend before the Multnomah Falls Trail Run was the X-Dog  Ride Row Run, and we have a little video that sums up some of the highlights of the fun.

The weekend before that, also brought to you by X-Dog Events, was the much celebrated Ole's Assault. Do we have a video of that craziness? Yes, we do.

Also, photos are up of the 2014 Multnomah Falls Trail Run here. In addition, we have photos of the 2014 Pine Hollow Tri here. And, online registration is now a go for June 8, 2015.
