Calling All Volunteers!

Hey COC- We could use a few more volunteers for WL #7 at Lord Hill.  Also, volunteering opportunities for JN2024 are posted. They are in 4 separate “events” – Fri Race, Sat Race, Sat Social Events, and Sun Race.  You can view them all here. We would appreciate it if you are heading to the Columbia Gorge Classic if you could take at least one volunteer shift during the weekend.

Record Setting Attendance, Iconic Venue, Great Weather

Winter League #4 at the scenic University of Washington had it all this past Saturday—great courses, outstanding weather, an incredible group of volunteers, and record-setting attendance.  We broke the old COC record of 426 starts accomplished in 2012 with a whopping 441 starts at UW.  When you add in group members (but not shadows) we had 494 folks running with a map in hand!  Add in shadows and we saw 504 folks who came through the start tents. Special thanks to all the volunteers who made it a truly successful day.
