The first commemorative Running of the Jorts was held yesterday (Monday August 9, 2010) to the great surprise and joy of all involved. Two pace bikers (in jorts, of course) led the pack from Golden's own Golden City Brewery down the Clear Creek path, whereupon all competitors made a stop to stretch and show off their pushup and pullup skills. (It was generally agreed that these skills need some work.) The pace bikers once again set off, this time leading the way through the trailer park and up to highway 6. Not surprisingly, another stretching session broke out. Limber once again, the crew made its way up to 19th st, down to Ford, and back to the corner of 10th and Washington. Here the team began the post-run yoga poses, provoking mixed responses from passers-by. Fortunately for the members of the Jorts Athletic Club, the final leg of the journey took them past Golden's own Buffalo Rose, where they were met with positive catcalling and hooting from some pleased locals. The final stop brought the crew to Woody's Pizza. Soulful rehashing of the evening's events ensued over delicious pizza and libations.
Thus ended the Running of the Jorts, Golden's first successful semi-occasional JAC:GC activity. Stay tuned for photos (once our treasurer returns from the Great White North) and first hand accounts from the participants themselves!
