Nike’s XC series is returning this August – and it’s still free.
Put on by the Bowerman Track Club (previously called Bowerman Athletic Club), the free 3k XC series is returning this August. Though not specifically geared towards youth, the shorter distance and safe course – run completely on the protected trails and paths of the Nike campus in Beaverton – make it great for families. And the price: free.
The course is a loop, run twice, and if you have a younger child not ready for 3k you could run with them and drop after one lap.
Each week, the race starts a 6p. You can sign a waiver at the event starting around 5:30p each week; in past years they have posted it online but it’s not up quite yet.
