  • Comments: This Race to Robie Creek was another fantastic event with my family. I'll start with the two big highlights and then the "rest of the story". The first and biggest highlight is : My dad got 1st in his age group (70-74). We all were all so excited you would have thought there was a million dollar prize purse! For the last several years, he kept saying "All I've got to do is outlive the competition". This year he got to say "I've outlived the competition". If you saw him walking, you would never guess that he was a runner. He has a bum knee that barely bends. He walks with a distinct limp and a shuffle. But every year he vows to return to Robie. After this race his knee was easily three times it's normal size, it was "a little swollen" as he cheerfully put it. Boise Hashhouse Harriers (drinkers with a running problem) have an aid station just before the summit. It is stocked with beer, scotch whiskey, tequila, HoHos, and cigars. Not a drop of water, bananas, or orange slice

  • Comments: What a fun and painful race. I am still amazed that I have now done this race 2 times. It is one of the hardest races in the northwest, with 2500' gain and 1500' lose it is a beast. I need to some time show up to it and be ready for it.
