The 2025 Sue-meg Run Was a Great Success
As I began
working on this year’s Sue-meg Run, I planned to begin a search for a course
for 2026 that would be more scenic and include the Rim Trail. I came up with a
new idea that seemed like it could work out to be close to 3 miles and ran it.
I was wrong, but tried again with a few small changes.
About a month before the race, after having turned in all the paperwork to the
State Parks, I found a new course that I loved and it
was almost the perfect distance. I wrote to State Parks and told them about the
new course and they immediately agreed that I could
change the course to run in 2025 (I think they really like our race).
I ran it three
more times, twice on beautiful, sunny days. It seemed to me that it was a far
better course than we had been running, but I had to wait to see our members
liked it. On race day, I was glad to have many helpers so I could take time to
ask how people liked the course. The responses were overwhelming. Everybody
loved it and many people seemed excited that it seemed more downhill than
uphill. (It starts and finishes in the same place.) Thank you all for the
smiles and the responses after the race. This course is here to stay.
I had a lot of
excellent helpers. Gary Timek, Harry Kavich, Ken Yanosko, Laura
Chapman, Catrina Howatt and my wife, Jan,
all were busy at the finish line. A new face for me, Evan Koch, helped
the whole day doing many jobs. Mark Ellis and Paul Kraus made
sure you were safe crossing the main park road. There is a drop off on the Rim
Trail, so Dane Hart was on the course to make sure you took the Campfire
Trail and Don Brubaker made sure you were safely on your way after
leaving the trail. Marlene Allen, Sherry Myers, Ed Kallen, Dawn Durbin
helped with registration and at the finish. Anita Thompson is Jan’s
walking partner and she attended to sweep the races. Savannah
Thompson was the attending nurse. She wanted to meet you and see the event.
It was nice to have her there to enjoy watching you finish. Of course, Yoon
was there to take the photos. He also helped by typing the results. Thank you,
Yoon.
The day before
the race, Mark and Tj Chapman,
who were camping in the park, helped me place cones along the race course the evening before the event, ensuring runners
stayed on the right track. The next day, they helped me clean. Tj was on the course at the one-mile mark. They made
both days much more enjoyable and helped me get home much sooner on Sunday.
Thank you all
for a great day! If I missed any helper, please let me know. -- Jack West
