Tour de Trails 3 mile - December 15, 2018

Gonzalo was unfortunately out of town for this race so we only have pictures from second tier photographers.  We hope that we got a picture of you.  Enjoy!

Heritage race photos circa 1985
RRR was given a handful of photos from what we believe to be the 1985 Heritage run.  Some of the youngsters would now likely be nearing their masters age groups are you one of them?

Thank you to RRR member Gonzalo Gomez for not only taking and sharing.
