Loma Linda Lopers jogging to Riverside

The Loma Linda Lopers, runners and walkers who have been seen on the streets of Loma Linda in pink T-shirts every Sunday morning for 30 years, are opening a new chapter in Riverside.

Now called The Lopers Club, the group of at times up to 1,200 members will hold simultaneous meetings each Sunday at the campus of Loma Linda University and at California Citrus State Historical Park in Riverside. The meetings will be held at 6:30 a.m. beginning this Sunday.

The club’s president, Jim Walling, said that its trademark bright pink T-shirts are for safety, providing extra visibility on the roads, but that the color has brought it more attention than anything else it’s done.

The Loma Linda Lopers, which is adding a Riverside chapter and becoming The Lopers Club, provides trademark pink T-shirts, mainly for safety, though they have attracted the attention of passers-by.

“People see us on the roads and say ‘Who are those guys? I want to join them,’ ” Walling said.

Grey Rock ready to run

In only its third year, Saturday’s Grey Rock 50K Trail Run in the Ahtanum has transformed itself from a seemingly doomed endeavor into a legitimate fundraising event … and an ultramarathon of growing renown.

After attracting just seven starters (six of whom actually finished) for its 2005 debut, the Grey Rock 50K drew

10 entrants last year and another six to the accompanying 25K run. And this year those numbers will essentially double, with 23 to 25 runners expected to line up for the 50K and 10 to 12 in the 25K. A half-dozen entrants are coming from outside Washington.

“The first year I thought, that’s it, we’re toast, this thing’s never going to fly,” said Gailon Gentry, who organizes the event as a fundraiser for the Ahtanum Valley Museum. “But it’s been good. The first couple of years it made a little money, and this year could pull in about $1,500 for a little, tiny museum society.

“It’s been kind of neat how this thing has turned around.”
