The Sawtooth Relay race is from Stanley to Ketchum, Idaho and is 62 miles. Teams are composed of six members. In 2007 we entered our team as "All in the Family". Each of the runners and the volunteers were all family members. The race raises awareness and funds for the PKD foundation to fight kidney disease. Below is a link to the website for the race:

Sawtooth Relay | 2009

We ran the Sawtooth Relay this weekend and had a great time. The name of our team was “More Cowbell” and we were team #234

The Sawtooth Relay is a 62 mile run and is separated into twelve legs. Teams of six individuals run from Stanley, Idaho to Ketchum Idaho over the famed Galena Summit. The proceeds for the race are all donated to the PKD Foundation and are used for research in finding a cure for kidney disease. Our team this year consisted of Trent & Shelly Koci, B and Tamara Clayton, and Karma and me. Each team is required to have one volunteer for the race and Tim Terry generously served as our volunteer. Zoie came along with us too and Karma’s Mom Dorothy watched her while we ran the race. We stayed in Ketchum on Friday night and then woke up around 1:30 in the morning. We picked up B and Tamara around 2:00am to drive to Stanley for a 4:00am start. The race was a bit rainy this year, but we still had a blast! We finished the race at around 1:00 in the afternoon with a total time of just over 9 hours.

Race to Robie Creek | 2009

I ran the Race to Robie Creek today. I did much better than I had expected with a finishing time of 1:57:23.392 which put me in place number 331. The race starts at Fort Boise and winds up Shaw Mountain Road. Near the top of Shaw Mountain Road the course heads up the old toll road at Rocky Canyon and over Aldape Summit. After passing over the summit the course takes a steep descent down into the Robie Creek drainage and ends with a spectacular party at a large park on the shores of Mores Creek.

The Race to Robie Creek is called “The Toughest Half-Marathon in the Northwest.” The race raises over $45,000 for local charities and non-profit organizations.  There were over 2,400 runners in the race this year.
