Never let winter win. That’s the motto of Portland Running Company’s winter race series put on by Run With Paula Events. The winter race series is a low-key trio of races spread out across December, January and February. Each 5K follows the same course-starting and ending at PRC-with the intention of each participant becoming faster and faster each race. The last 5K is a “predict” which means each runner will predict their finish time (no watches or phones allowed in this race). Runners and walkers of all abilities are encouraged to join in this fun and friendly race. You can sign up for one or all three (which you should)! Check out the details below and come join me and let’s keep fit, fast, and healthy all winter long.
See below under “Registration” for the code to save $10. This code will expire at the end of the day on Wednesday, November 30 so don’t delay!
There is no reason not to join in and crush the winter doldrums! This totally doable series is perfect and wallet friendly, so treat yourself and your best running buddies with entry into this awesome series for the holidays. Bonus: be ahead of the pack by maintaining your running fitness during the winter and come spring, you’ll be much fitter, faster and see results and PR’s much sooner than you planned.
