Many people who have enjoyed ART over the years will remember our good friend, Dave Edney (aka Captain Dave), who passed away in 2016. Even if you didn’t get to meet Dave, you will see his handiwork work in the trails we enjoy, and you may have noticed the lovely memorial at the Cedar Center trailhead. The greater highway 4 community was touched by Dave’s love of the region and commitment to sharing the beauty of the ART.
In memory of Dave Edney, Murphys Athletics has hosted the Dave Edney Memorial WOD since 2017, with ALL proceeds going directly to the Arnold Rim Trail Association. You may signup for a simple 5k (walk or run your choice) or signup for the 5k along with burpees and double unders! If you are unable to join that day, you can still support this wonderful event by purchasing a Dave Edney t-shirt. T-shirt sales are open until September 26th, and you may place your t-shirt order and/or register for this wonderful uplifting event by clicking the link above.
