Show Handcart Days Sets 10 Km Run On July 24 The Handcart Days Field Events Committee is sponsoring sponsor-ing the second annual 10 kilometer kilo-meter run on July 24 at 7:10 a.m. The run demonstrates strength and endurance similar to that required of our early pioneer predecessors who traveled and settled this once-rough once-rough country. THERE WERE no asphalt streets in those good old days so they didn't need those soft soled running shoes we use now. In fact, most of the running run-ning was to bring the cows from the pasture. Now, the pasture is a subdivision and we celebrate those memories by running on the asphalt where the cows used to roam. The run begins at the city park near the city outdoor pool. From there south to 4th North, then west to 800 West. It proceeds north to Porter Lane, turns east on Porter Lane to 640 West and the north to Parrish Lane. It proceeds east on Parrish Lane to the Frontage Road then south to the City Park. People will be posted at the turning points and a map is included on the entry form. THE RACE is divided into 12 divisions according to age and awards will be given to the first three finishers in each division. di-vision. There are women and wheelchair divisions but no handcart entries are mentioned. men-tioned. If you feel inclined to celebrate cele-brate in this manner, you must complete a registration form and pay an entrance fee. Forms may be obtained at De-Boer's De-Boer's Running Store, 167 South Main Street, Bountiful, Utah 84010. Fees may be paid at DeBoer's also at the rate of $4 for pre-registration, $5 for late registration or $3 per applicant appli-cant if no T-shirt is desired. T-shirts are available to the first 100 entrants only. Late registration is at the start-finish start-finish area beginning at 6:00 a.m. on the 24th. IN 1980 the male winner was Dan Price with a time of 33 minutes 9 seconds. The female winner was Joylyn Williams at 43 minutes 38 seconds. It's good exercise. If you are not a runner, trot around the course and maybe you can bring home a cow from the pasture for old time's sake. |
