The annual “Desert Run” fund-raiser to support the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue volunteers is planned for October 4, 5, and 6. Managing editor Tami Roleff tells you how to sign-up…
It’s that time of year again when the Morongo Basin Search and Rescue team is holding its family-friendly, off-road fundraiser at Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley. Check-in for the fund raiser starts 4 p.m. Friday, October 4, with the actual 20- to 25-mile Desert Run taking place Saturday morning. You must have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to participate; runs will be marked as “easy” and “hard” so you can choose which course you want to drive. Registration for the Desert Run is $60 in advance; $65 the day of the run, and $30 for active-duty military. Prizes will be awarded. For more information, visit desertrun.org.
