Team Ortho had a huge presence at the Eugene Marathon over the last weekend in April. With "Teamo" present (Team Ortho Avalanche) and the Creswell Track Team (pictured below), Team Ortho was voted the "Most Spirited" Water Station. Marathoners passed the Team Ortho Water station twice, while the 1/2 Marathoners and 5K runners passed it once. There were many Team Ortho singlets in the race as well with a strong contingent of Minnesota Runners making the trip, as well as some of our new friends in Eugene. Team Ortho was promoting the Slocum Center Monster Dash that will happen on Oct. 29th in Alton Baker Park.
