Run to the Rogue VIII Coming Up Run to the Rogue is an annual relay run sponsored by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon. The run begins in Siletz on the morning of Sept. 19, 2002, and ends Sept. 21 at an undesignated site near the Rogue River in Southwest Oregon, wild fires near Oak Flat in August prevent the naming of the area where the run will end. This run commemorates the Siletz Tribal ancestors who were forcibly removed from their homeland in the Rogue River country in the mid-1800s and marched north to Siletz and the confinements of the Coast Reservation. This annual relay run is the closest we can come to our ancestors’ experience on the journey from their homeland. Volunteers are needed for this three-day event to run, walk, or help out with camp setup, cleanup, cooking, and other activities. Youth may participate, but need a designated adult committed to traveling and camping with the youth. Transportation is provided along the route for runners and volunteers.
