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.

route is up and running,
Morgan said CTUIR as-
sesses its transit and
makes adjustments to
routes and times quarter-
ly, so it won’t be “set in
stone.”
“By no means are we
saying this is a perfect
route or perfect times,”
Morgan said. “Every-
one’s going to have their
opinions. There are a
thousand ways you can
draw a route in town.”
Although the city is
helping fund the bus sys-
tem, it plans to continue
to also fund the taxi tick-
et program for senior and
disabled riders.
