Back out in Valley Ford and it did not disappoint.

Green grass, grazing cows, rolling countryside, and weather that cooperated just enough to make it a great day to race. There is something special about running out here. Wide open roads, fresh air, and a community that shows up ready to compete and have fun.

A huge thank you to Cathy DuBay and Jerry Finlay for putting on such a well run event. We are also incredibly grateful to the volunteers from Piner High School who served as race monitors and helped keep everyone safe out on the course.

We appreciate everyone who came out, volunteered, cheered, and made the day what it was. So good to be back in Valley Ford this year, and already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
