The Valley Fox Trot was founded in 1978 by Dr. David Bruce with the Elgin Life Underwriters as the sponsor and medical personnel from throughout the local community lending their expertise and assistance. The shirts in the photo, courtesy of Dr. Bruce, are of the original logo design for the event.
Dr. Bruce (left) got together recently with local celebrity Jeff Myers as well as Co-race Directors Rosey Valencia and Ed Bates to produce a video that is available on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/100003811415619/videos/1514279942833575/
