Southern Oregon Fat Ass

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

Time: 9 am

Come out and enjoy the SOFA!

Location: Graves Creek, trailhead for the Wild and Scenic portion of the Rogue River Trail. Where? About 15 miles downstream from Merlin. What: An out-an-back with a long of 31 miles on a beautiful trail. Guaranteed to provide maximum enjoyment. We guarantee the weather won't be as bad as the Pine to Palms 100. Let's see if we can have a record turnout! Beer and soup at the finish.

This is a self-supported run that crosses countless streams that we drank from for years without incident. I'll run with my filter this year, since Rob Cain had to ruin my delusion and get giardia. Do I need to mention rain, after all this is Oregon, right? Oh yeah, poison oak too.

The SOFA started out as a way to celebrate birthdays of some Oregon ultrarunners . Tim Turk (me), Craig Thornley, Jeff Riley, Marcus Mayfield, Clayton Gillette and Hal Koerner all celebrate birthdays around the same time. You too? Let me add you to the list.

Directions:
From the north, take the Wolf Creek exit #76 to the Graves Creek trailhead.
From the South, take the Merlin exit #61 and do the same.

Give me a call or email if you have questions,
