Butte Burner run

Ryan helped put on the 3rd annual Butte Burner race this year. Yesterday, almost 200 racers competed in either the 5k, 10k, or the 3:33 challenge on Pilot Butte (located in the heart of Bend). Participants had to run/walk up and down the butte either once, twice, or for 3.5 hours depending on the race they entered. Grandma Cindy, Grandma Leslie, and Grandad Riley did the 5k and enjoyed the beautiful view from the top of the butte.



Addie and some of her friends participated in the kids run, which was two laps around the track. Addie wasn't sure how to pace herself so she started out running full speed and slowed down a lot towards the end. Most importantly, the kids all had a good time and enjoyed the free food and ice cream afterwards!






Ryan and Jeff worked very hard on the race set-up and all the logistics that went in to the planning. All the proceeds went towards improving Pilot Butte and helping a local non-profit that helps stop child trafficking. Good work!
