SWEAT for fun

We found ourselves walking amidst a late summer fun run yesterday on the River Trail. Numbered humans padded by us in their running shoes.

I stopped and spoke with the gentlemen handing off cups of water to runners about midway, a Mr. Parks. It seems this race was one of the the last of the Summer season. One of the Sunset Through the Trees series.

For this run of about 6 miles, they run a loop across the ribbon bridge and end up at the pavillion near the Aquatic Park.

Runners were intense in the 90 degree evening, but everyone was smiling, so I guess it was a fun run after all. You can learn more about the venerable Redding area runner’s club at their website. Click on their logo.

What? A Whiskeytown 50K run? Yikes, that’s like 31 miles. Participants of that run all have my admiration.
