What Our Participants are Saying: "Our team loved the walk this year. We had three newbies in each van and the young ladies found it to be an awesome experience. The new course was much more forgiving than the previous years, with the 8 milers at night. We want to thank everyone who made this event possible. It was extremely well organized and personable. One unique experience we this year was that we had two young nursing mothers along. One in each van. So we had to coordinate passing the breast pump at the exchanges. It was either that or find a hungry baby along the way. The ladies were amazing. Again thank you so much for all your wonderful efforts to put on such an event." --Margaret "Huffin Puffin" Captain Louis Landre, a racewalker for three years, has participated in many events like the Willamette Valley relay. His enthusiasm was infectious when he talked to prospective teammates for this year's relay, making it sound like such fun that nearly half of the participants were new to the event. Last year, "Dog Gone Fast" walked to a second-place finish. This year, Landre wanted not just a competitive team to cross the finish line; he wanted to field a team of recreational walkers, people who just wanted to enjoy walking along country roads and have a fun-filled, personally rewarding experience. "Sore to the Corps" was born and joined "Dog Gone Fast" on the relay registration. Read the entire article from "Dog Gone Fast" and "Sore to the Corps"
