Want a Shorty sticker?

Celebrate the life of our friend Shorty! We have left over Shorty stickers from the Bear Creek Bluegrass. We would love to get these in the hands of those who shared a moment or a mile with the legend! Pick up a sticker for $1 (helps cover postage) from the PedJam gear shop. We will throw in a couple postcards from the event.

Looking for some awesome Volunteers!

Please send a direct message if interested!

The Betsy Farris Run is back! In just three weeks we are hitting the streets with this classic Columbia run. We are still keeping the tradition of this landmark Columbia alive and could use some help to pull it off! Although the Roots N Blues festival is just a wonderful memory the run still lives and is a great running event for people of all ages in the community! The course will be the same as it has been the past two years and has evolved from the route associated with the festival. There are only a handful of confusing corners and hazardous intersections that need a hand. It’s been a challenge to round up volunteers since the years of Roots N Blues but if we get a handful of good help we can pull off a great event!

Please consider helping the event on Saturday, Oct. 4th! If you volunteered over the past couple years we can keep it easy and get you at the same spot. If you are new to the course we can get you a spot that works for your time and comfort level! Volunteers are needed at various times between 6:30 am and 11 am. Just let me know what times would work for you! If you can join please let me know soon so I can get a spot assigned that works best and also let me know your shirt size so I can get a shirt for you! If you can’t make it this year, it’s all good! If you ever want to be involved (at any level) with any other events throughout the year just hit me up at any time. I love collaborating and friends into the mix on these events!

PedJam family and beyond... We mourn the loss but celebrate the amazing life of our wonderful friend David Lindstrom (aka Shorty). Many of you shared miles of smiles along the trail and hugs on the adventures of life. Always quick to get people inspired to dance, Shorty made friends with all that knew him. He was the first one to the party and the last one to leave... A true inspiration to a life well lived! Thanks for the good times Shorty! Love ya buddy!
