A18 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2016 FROM PAGE A1 NEWS IN BRIEF RUN: continued from Page A1 privileged to call this my playground for 18 years,” he said. While it might not be as enmeshed as some oth- er Eastern Oregon events, it was special enough for people from across the Northwest to pay it tribute. Joyce Hughes of Pend- leton ran the course twice before, but she brought her children and grandchildren to the event this year. Having “suffered” through the Portland Mar- athon two weeks ago in the rain, Hughes was hap- py that the weather had cleared up for the Morrow County run. During its lifespan, the Very Poplar Run has functioned as a fundraiser for the Agape House, the Hermiston nonprofit that supports the homeless and needy. Executive Director Dave Hughes said he wasn’t sure if the unique atmosphere of the Poplar Run could be replicat- ed, but that didn’t mean Agape House was out of the racing game. Agape House took over the Co- lumbia River Best Dam Power Run over the Mc- Nary Dam and organized both races as a sort of tran- sitionary period. While the Best Dam Power Run was put on this year mostly to keep the event in the public con- sciousness, Hughes hopes its reputation will eventu- ally equal that of its prede- cessor’s. “Hopefully, in six years, we’ll have as many as we do today,” he said.
