In a little over 2 weeks from now, I'll be up in Ridgway, Colorado for the Grit Series Half Marathon and 5K benefitting the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.
Last year, I attended as a spectator. This year, I have volunteered to man one of aid stations along the marathon route.

I am looking forward to attending. The area of the marathon is where scenes of True Grit (1969) were filmed. It is a beautiful area with mountains and ranchland.

The area is 11 miles west of the town of Ridgway.
Those interested in participating in the run can still sign up until September 16. For more information, go here.
