WLA dedicated the 2009 R4L race to our friend Steve Sypher. Steve worked for the Westport Streets Department and was our "go to guy" for setting up the course and ensuring everyone had a safe, enjoyable event. When Steve passed away in 2009, we knew Westport and our race would be missing a friend, superb volunteer, participant and outstanding member of the community. This picture is of Steve completing the R4L in 2006.

"Run for the Light!" On August 8, 2009, WLA hosted its 4th annual Fun Run/Walk in Westport. The scenic course started and finished at the historic Westport Maritime Museum over-looking Grays Harbor. 151 runners and walkers traveled the paved Westport Dune Trail along the Pacific Ocean through the State Parks. The unique course passed the 1898 Grays Harbor Lighthouse and finished next to the museum lens exhibit building – home of the magnificent 1st Order Destruction Island Lighthouse Lens. Special thanks to all participants and volunteers who make this event a reality. (Race Photos by Susanne Voros and Jon DeWire)

The 2008 champ, Daryl Montgomery, returned and ran about a minute faster in 2009. Yet his 29:30 was only good for 5th place in a much more competitive field. Get a massage for that quad muscle Daryl!
