Pompadour Run





Brian McGuire (holding timer on left) is a teacher at Talent Middle School and has initiated a fund-raising effort for one of his special-needs students.  Sheldon Derr is a 13 year-old with Muscular Dystrophy whose family lacks the resources to upgrade their vehicle to accommodate his wheel chair.  Brian, along with Rogue Valley Runners store owner Hal Koerner organized the run, which started and finished at the North Mountain Park Nature Center last Saturday.  Runner Matt Oliva approaches the finish line and is then greeted by his proud daughter, Tate.




Winners of the Pompadour 5K and 9K races (L to R) Daniel Hough, Mercy Ray, Eric Skaggs and Jenn Shelton pose with race organizer and Rogue Valley Runners store owner Hal Koerner.
