Go for a Run and Help to End Poverty!

Registration is now open for May's Garden Gnome Run and July's Barrel to Keg Relay Race, both benefitting important CSC programs. Whether you prefer to walk or long-distance running treks, we have a race for you!

The Garden Gnome Run, benefitting the CSC Youth Garden, takes place on Sunday, May 5 and includes 1K run/walk, 5K and 10K races. The races start at the CSC Youth Garden in downtown Corvallis and follow the flat, paved bike path course in Southwest Corvallis through Avery and Starker Arts parks. For more information, including registration and volunteer opportunities, visit the Garden Gnome Run website here: http://gardengnomerun.com/

The Barrel to Keg Relay race, benefitting all CSC programs, takes place on Saturday, July 13. Starting at the Harris Bridge Vineyard in Philomath, Oregon, this scenic relay goes through the beautiful back country of the Oregon Coast Range, crosses over the majestic Yaquina Bay Bridge and finishes at the famous Rogue Ales Brewery at Newport’s South Beach Marina. The relay can be either ran or walked: teams of 2, 4, and 6 runners split the 111K (69 mile) distance over 12 legs, while teams of 2, 3, 4 or 6 walkers cover 6 legs (51K). Solo ultra runners are welcome, too. If you don't have a team, don't worry - we can connect you with one!

Hope to see you there!
