The 2019 Kollas Cranmer July 4th Memorial Run saw hundreds of local residents head to the Odell Fire Station and trek their way across more than seven miles to Jackson Park in Hood River. The weather was warm and sunny, with a slight breeze blowing to keep runners cool, and the roads were closed off at certain sections to ensure a smooth path of progress. Such a great race day made for fast times, including a new record in the 60-69 female division by Jeanne Grist. The following results cover first through third of each age group, male and female.

McKay and Phillips were the top racers in the male and female divisions and had similar approaches to the race and what it was all about.
“This is a fun one to jump in, a good local race to participate in,” said McKay. “The hill’s always tough and there was a decent crosswind, but great day to run and an amazing course with the mountain ahead of you.”
“I found out about the race the night before, glad they have day-of sign ups,” said Phillips. “It was a good training run, it was wonderful to have the people cheering and the parade at the end. Everybody loves a downhill race, you get to run fast; plus, being part of the community.”
The race provided yet again an example of the supportive, energetic community that is Hood River, bringing together people of all ages and walks of life.
