The 3rd race in the La Sportiva / USATF Oregon Mountain Running Series was canceled because the County canceled their permits less than a week before the race. The Almost Vertical Corbett Hillclimb was to go down and back up Corbett Hill Road - a 1.5 mile paved road with 600' of vertical. Here is what race director Harry Simonis had to say:"Multnomah County has decided to not issue the final permit to hold the 'UP-Down' race on Corbett Hill this saturday. ODOT also made us change the course for the 10k run. We cannot use the Vista house observatory loop road. Monday Doug and I got the new course laid and spent most of the afternoon trying to convince people to issue the final permits to no avail. The new 10k course has a long drawn out hill that will be quite challenging to runners."
The 10k race started at 8:15 AM on July 4 from Corbett High School with a small field of mostly local runners. The race results will be posted at: http://www.usatf-oregon.org/

The next race in the La Sportiva / USATF Oregon Mountain Running Series will be the Mt. Ashland Hillclimb on August 1st. Sign-up soon because the race is limited to 250 runners and already 150 have registered.

Richard,
Perhaps they canceled because they heard that Ashland wasn't able to attend the event? Kidding! Hope all is well with your healing! Hope your Fourth was a good one!
See you on the trails soon!
