The Dalles - St Patty's Day River Run/Walk

The St. Patty's Day River Run/Walk is one of several runs scheduled this year to support the Jump Start Summer Basketball Camp and Colonel Wright Elementary physical education.


Race Report by Tom Conklin:

The final event of the three Jumpstart Winter race series began at the marina in The Dalles on March 12th. March typically brings March type weather, however the weather this time around was nearly perfect for a Spring race. The temps., settled around a crisp 49 degrees, overcast, with no wind. Two course records were broken and many top performances were turned in by walkers and runners alike as they returned for a second or third shot at breaking their previous individual course records on the Columbia River Trail course.
