A group of Rhodes residents not always seen by our visiting runners would also like to express their thanks.
The Rhodes vulture colony is most appreciative of the donations received from the Rhodes runners who purchased a 2014 Rhodes Run Polar Bear Club™ shirt.
Proceeds from the sale of Rhodes Polar Bear Club™ shirts go to the Rhodes Vulture Restaurant.
In addition to using the funds raised to procure meals (!) for the colony, this year the donations were used to help with the uplifting of meals.
Dave Walker, proprietor of 'Walkerbouts Inn', who manages the Rhodes Vulture Restaurant recently sent this note:
Note: The rumour that runners who miss the Mavis Bank cut-off are left as vulture fodder is entirely misplaced, well, most of the time!
A few years ago Tony Bold selfishly dragged his bloodied body off the mountain under the clutches of circling, and rather peckish, Lammergeiers who had anticipated an interesting change in diet!
