President Courtney to Run Hood-to-Coast

SALEM – Senate President Peter Courtney will run his 14^th Hood-to-Coast relay race this weekend. His first of three legs will be the infamous leg one from Timberline Lodge to Government Camp, a distance of approximately 6 miles, starting at 9:15am on Friday.

“Normally the team travels in a van. This year I’m not in a van. I’m riding on a gurney,” said Courtney (D-Salem/Gervais/Woodburn).
