Deschutes River Trail Work Party: Thank You Footzone & CORK

Trail Love on the Deschutes! On July 16th we had a whopping 65 volunteers come out for trail work - on a Monday night no less - in a joint effort with Footzone and Central Oregon Runners Klub (CORK).

COTA provided the tools, crew leaders and project oversight (which started with scouting missions days before) while the volunteers provided the elbow grease and can-do attitudes. Volunteers braved the heat and a good dose of hungry mosquitos for some sections, but all had fun. There were a great mix of trail runners and mountain bikers (many who do both) to get a large section of this beautiful trail back into tip-top shape.  

Together we focused on brushing back the wildest overgrown sections of trail,  tread improvements and water management.

The afterparty was at the new Outfitters Bar at 7th Mountain Resort.

One of COTA's new 2018 goals is to add a 3rd large trail work party, in addition to our Trail Love Spring & Fall Editions major events. Thanks again to Footzone and CORK for helping us make this happen. This was a great collaboration!
