Jonathan Stinnett, who loves all things Cot-
tage Grove, wanted to share his appreciation of
this city with more people. And as a runner, he
thought that there would be no better way for
people to enjoy this area than on foot.
While taking on the mindset of both a city
promoter and runner, he started, with a group of
friends, Run CG Run. The goal of the group is to
get people in the city running, to have more local
races and get maintain the trails.
“We are trying to show off Cottage Grove and
give off a positive view of it,” said Stinnett. “We
love it here and we think that you will too.”
While Eugene is known as TrackTown USA
and a sanctuary for running, Stinnett points out
that Cottage Grove also has nice trails and a his-
tory of running that dates back to Dyrol Burleson
who is from here and went to the 1960 and 1964
Olympics in the 1500.
With not only the history but also the future
of running in mind, Stinnett fi gured that despite
some trails and local races, the city had more to
offer to its loyal runners. With that the group then
took over the Gold Rush 5K that takes place on
the Friday of Bohemia Mining Days. They also
offer two other 5K’s, the Fools Rush that takes
place on April 1st, the Jingle Bell run which
takes place in December and a handful of other
races throughout the year.

al who seems to know all runners in town, sees
that this group is serving the need of the different
groups of runners throughout the city.
“There are some adults that have been running
for a long time, fi tness walking for a long time,”
said Settelmeyer. “There’s always some group
that is trying out that exercise as kind of a fi tness
fad thing and then there are all of the students in
local schools that at least are open to looking at
new adventures.”
Settelmeyer sees that Run CG Run works to
bring them altogether in a way that benefi ts ev-
eryone. The group uses its funds in a number of
ways but it starts with trail maintenance. But it
doesn’t stop there. The group also gives funds
to the cross-country program for various meets
where they stay places overnight to who can not
afford a new pair of running shoes.
“It’s a group that really helps directly impact
kids' interest in running,” said Settelmeyer.
