Residents running and rocking into 2020
By JESSICA POLLARD
STAFF WRITER
The fi rst morning of the
decade was a quiet one
across the streets of Herm-
iston, but the hustle and
bustle of Riverfront Park
before the annual Resolu-
tion Run was a welcome
exception for the more than
200 people who showed up
decked out in exercise gear.
Runners, cyclists, dogs
and even babies tucked
safely into their stroll-
ers gathered around the
Oxbow trailhead to kick-
off the start of the choose-
your-own-distance
run.
The longest route, accord-
ing to organizers, is 10
kilometers.
“Since there’s no tim-
ing or registration, it’s open
for anybody at any levels,”
said organizer Tim Beal.
Beal, an avid runner
and cyclist, didn’t join the
crowd but said that he’d
already got some miles in
on his bike.
2020 marked the sixth
year in a row of the Res-
olution Run being a free
event.
“No one benefi ts from

More than 200 people participated in last Wednesday
morning’s Resolution Run at Riverfront Park.
Greg Anderson, a member of the Hermiston High School
cross-country team, was the fi rst 5-kilometer runner to fi nish
last Wednesday morning’s Resolution Run at Riverfront Park.

ing to run,” Beal added.
He added that attendance

his stroller, participation in
the run was a fi rst.
“I want to be more posi-
tive this year,” she said.
Beenblossom added that
while her mom pushed her
to come out and walk the
course with Oliver, she was
excited to see so many peo-
ple in the community show-
ing up to run and walk into
the new decade.
“This is a way to start the
day out good,” said Heather
Demos, who was ready to
take on the Resolution Run
with her friend Karen Eddy.
“We’d be lazy the rest of
the day otherwise.”
The pair had attended
the run in previous years,
and planned to attend a
yoga class downtown fol-
lowing the event. Return-
ing participants enjoyed
complimentary snacks and
hot chocolate.
A special perk this year,
Hermiston Rock Hunt—
a local group that paints
and hides stones along the
Oxbow Trail— hid 15 col-
orfully painted “Resolution
Rocks” along the course for
kids to fi nd and keep.
On Facebook, organizers
of the run stated that 14 of
the rocks had been located
along the trail by children
that day.
Hermiston/Pendleton Special Olympics wraps up fall sports season
HERMISTON HERALD
In celebration of a success-
ful fall sports season, Hermiston/
Pendleton Special Olympics Local
Program #510 recently gathered
for an awards banquet.
The Dec. 2 event, held at The
Arc Building in Hermiston, fea-
tured an awards ceremony. Herm-
iston VFW Post #4750 presented
the colors and led the pledge of
allegiance.
In addition to bowling and
swimming athletes, special guests
included several members of the
Hermiston Police Department and
the Hermiston High School Key
Club. Both groups provided assis-
tance during the Regional Bowling
Competition, held Nov. 8 at Desert
Lanes Family Fun Center in Herm-
iston. With assistance from the
special guests, head bowling coach
Doris Boatright presented awards,
including medals to Jillian Smalley
(gold), MaryAnn Wright (silver)
and Shirley Fell (bronze).
Also, results from the Fall Bow-
lathon were announced and the
top three fundraisers were pre-
sented with prizes. First place
honors went to Smalley, followed
by Michael Downing and David
Andrews. With more than 80 ath-
letes participating in fall sports, the
group was able to raise over $5,000
for the local program, said commu-
nications manager Kristi Smalley.
The gathering featured a spa-
ghetti dinner served by volunteers
from The Gems and Gents Cheer
Program. The group also presented
a short demonstration of their
cheerleading and dancing skills.
The winter sports season, which
includes basketball and power-
lifting, begins the week of Jan. 6.

Schneider at 541-314-0166.
