Happy Friday Birds!
Last Tuesday Jordan got his 8th run and Kyle got his 300th run!! Congratulations to you two!!

Jordan's flightless fact was that when Graham Chapman died John Cleese recited the Dead Parrot Sketch from Monty Python. I guess a dead parrot is a flightless bird....

Hello Birds!! Looks like we all had fun tonight 😂 Thank you all for coming out and trying something new!

05/19/2026

Hello Flightless Birds!

There's a lot of info in this email so please read to the end! :)

First, for tomorrow's run we will be doing an orienteering course setup by Tracy Schoenleber from the Eastern Washington Orienteering Club. Because there are directions and small gadgets involved please show up a few minutes early to get setup and we'll send runners/walkers out in a staggered start once people are set (it's more fun if you can't see people finding the checkpoints). I will also try to be there early to help answer questions, but check out www.ewoc.org if you want to know more.

Second, I am in desperate need of a few additional volunteers for our aid station at the Coeur d'Alene marathon this Sunday. So if you're an early bird (or can be one for a day) see the details below. Location: Lake Steamers Marker (6400-6670 E Coeur D'Alene Lake Dr, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814)
Time: meet at 5:40am (bonus, we get to watch the sunrise over the lake), first runners at 6:10am - but should be all done by 10:15am (breakfast anyone?)

And lastly, I have details on the Sativa Transue Memorial 5k linked. This is a great race that benefits a great cause.

Ok....onto the show! See you all tomorrow!
