Not many have done what Noah Coughlan accomplished Sunday, May 24th on the Central Oregon Coast at Newport.  The Nashville bartender completed a 260-day, 20-state journey at Don Davis City Park, named after the former City Manager who helped lead the blue print for what Newport is today.  Coughlan hit the beach after the final 28-miles carrying his signature identifier, the American Flag.  The 42-year old received a police escort over the last few miles on Hwy. 20 from Toledo to Newport.  He’s nearly done with his goal of running through all 50 States in the Union.  Only three people have accomplished the feat previously.  The last section of his run will begin in June in Alaska and finish July Fourth in Hawaii. There U.S. Marines will fold and put away the U.S. Flag he’s proudly carried since 2013.  You can follow his effort at his website:  RunforAmerica.com.
