hard work, our dream came true! By why try to use words...here

Portland Marathon - Portland, OR
Each year the organizers have asked ROF to participate in the Portland Marathon as a music group
participant. Requiring the group to get up early on a Sunday morning, this year the group decided
to do a sleepover at the school and have a fun social evening before.
Arriving early downtown Sunday morning, they set up and waited for the race to begin.
Once it started, the group played for hours as everyone in the marathon ran by.
There also was a 10k race that occurred after the last marathon runners had left the starting line.
