Running for Robert

The Soda Springs July 4th Rotary 5k brought in a record number of runners this year. This came as no surprise seeing as this year's run was dedicated to Robert Clark. There were so many friends and family members participating and it was so fun to see them all cross the finish line. Thanks Robert & Sue for inspiring us all to get out there and run! Everyone had a great time and Sue was a wonderful host for this rowdy crowd!



Also, the race director, Bill Horsley, wrote this a while back.

"Many of Robert Clark’s friends and family expressed a desire to run the July 4th Rotary fun run as a tribute to Robert’s memory. When I was approached with this idea I immediately thought that this would be a great opportunity to create a much more lasting and meaningful tribute by creating a fund to benefit young runners in the Soda Springs XC program that may not be able to participate without a little help with the expense of shoes and appropriate running attire."

There was over $1,300 donated! Thanks to everyone who was able to contribute!
