In September 2020, I visited Ridgway, Colorado for the first time. Ridgway was the principal site of where True Grit (1969) starring John Wayne was filmed.

This coming August, the John Wayne Cancer Foundation will be holding a marathon event in Ridgway.
I am seriously considering attending the event. Since I am a bit too old to participate as a runner, I will go as a spectator showing my support (along with making a donation).
The Ridgway area is a beautiful area of Colorado. Much of the town of Ridgway's buildings are still recognizable from when they were used in True Grit. It is about 200 miles from home.
