One of the many things I love about living in Portland is the number of races you can choose from on any given weekend. “Like shooting fish in a barrel” my Dad would have said. Even better? The geographic diversity that often brings races near where I live.

For example, the Stoller Middle School PTO is hosting their second annual Stoller Community 5K Run/Walk and Jr. Jaguar Jog on April 6, 2014. One of the many things I like about this event is that it is one that I can bring my ten year old daughter to run along with me. Family friendly events are wonderful, and also when they benefit a great cause, in this case the Stoller Middle School PTO.

Aside from the fact that I can run with my little lady, here’s a short list of OTHER great things to love about the Stoller 5K Run/Walk:

Free Childcare for children 2 and up from 8:45 am – 10:00 am (must be potty trained)
Free Junior Jaguar Jog
Chocolate Milk at Finish
Special pricing for Beaverton School District staff
Special pricing for students 18 and younger
VooDoo Doughnuts will be there selling doughnuts
Race event logistics such as: roads closed, chip-timed, t-shirts, goody bags
A beautiful course – 2/3 is on Tualitin Hills Parks & Recreation District paved trail (click here for course map) Plus, parking is easy as the start and finish is at Stoller Middle School
Free 1K jog for younger children
Plenty of course entertainment
Stroller friendly, too (sorry, no four legged friends)

This year registration is capped at 600 participants, and I can say with confidence that they will more than likely sell out.
