Imagine for a moment that it’s 1884, and a young LeRoy Parker a.k.a. Butch Cassidy along with a small band of outlaws are being pursued by the local marshal through the back roads of Beaver City.  This actually might have occurred after one of Butch’s cattle rustling raids that sporadically took place in and around Parowan and Beaver.
   Now fast-forward to August 14th, 2010 and runners from around the region are gathering to start the “Outlaw Run” Half-marathon race. The course begins at the Tushar Mt. Baseball Complex and proceeds along the North Creek Loop Road for four miles, then west on a gentle downward slopping road to the old Manderfield Road that leads back to Beaver City.  It then traverses south along 100 West. At Center Street, the runners turn east and proceed up the road until reaching the intersection of the North Creek Road. They then turn north and follow the road back to the starting line, which is also the finish-line.
   Upon completing the ½ Marathon and 5K races, we invite all of you to extend your stay and enjoy all that the area has to offer. East of Beaver, in the Tushar Mountains, you’ll discover beautiful vistas, high mountain lakes and clear, sparkling streams; a great place to relax and reflect on your achievement. The grandeur is overwhelming and your spirit will be lifted for the next new challenge.
