That certainly makes it nice for runners who wish to travel a bit, run with a crowd and lower their times or just have fun The popularity of runs is amazing Some 6,000 runners jammed the streets of Portland last week for the Cascade Run and other road races are drawing record numbers of en tries. A pair of local races looms on the horizon The July F ly w ill be held on the Fourth of Ju ly at 1 p m. The five-m ile race is sponsored by the Hoodland F ire Department and w ill begin at Welches School. The Sandy Mountain Festival Almost 10 Kilom eter Run w ill be held July 11 at 9 a m. The race, also in the neighborhood of five miles, w ill begin at the parking lot of sponsor Camera Connection and make a loop south of Sandy. This w ill be the first try for the July Fly, which could turn out to be an annual event There are a lot of joggers in the Hoodland area, and the area is sim ply a nice place to run because of the scenery The hills can be a problem, but they are no greater than in the Sandy area if a course is chosen properly. The one problem with the July Fly is the time. Starting a race at 1 p m. in July is not wise Despite recent m ild temperatures, the m ercury could easily be in the 90s at that time of day and that can be a dangerous tim e 3 race Runners can lose too much body fluid and are susceptible to heat ex haustion and heatstroke >•*» r * i ; Obviously, the Hoodland organizers had reasons for staging the run in the afternoon there are a lot of activities going on in the morning because of the holiday and the events have to be staggered But the run real ly should take place in the morning, for the safety of the runners and as a factor in entic ing more runners to compete. The Almost 10 Kilom eter Run has gained strides in the two years of existence in the festival and, hopefully, its third year w ill be the best ever. There were some problems last year with registration fees — the price was an exorbi tant |7 — and by the time an understanding was reached, it was too late to change. This year, however, the sponsors and festival committee are a year older and wiser and the event seems to lx» running much smoother An entry fee of just $3 has been tentatively set and there should be a record number of entries this year. Tbe race is at 9 a m., an ideal tim e for running, and out of conflict with most other festival events. The course is h illy, but scenic and really quite a nice run. Last year’s winners in the men’s and women’s competition were strong competitors and their names may draw other top notch runners to the race There is no word yet on whether Sid Christie and Connie ( ase w ill be back to defend their titles One further suggestion for the organizers of both runs is to add a shorter run Five miles isn t that far for a lot of people, but to the young, the elderly and the out-of-shape a five m ile jaunt in the hills is rather discouraging Most races these days have two divisions, say a two m ih and a six-m ile I t ’s a sure way to get more entries and the bookkeeping isn’t that d ifficu lt It s something to shoot for next year r.-.-
