- Registration is now open for Run With Paula’s Bridge of the Goddess Half Marathon and 10k, scheduled for Saturday, September 17 in the Columbia River Gorge. This “mainly-women’s” race (guys can run it as well to lend support or pace a female friend) has a beautiful course and race shirts that are just as gorgeous as the runners who wear them. Registration costs less for those that sign up early – the first 200 to sign up can do so for just $69 and then it goes up to $79. Get more details here or go straight to registration here.
- Registration is also now open for the Uberthons Winter event, which includes the Oregon Winter Half Marathon, the Oregon Winter Quarter Marathon. The races are scheduled for Saturday, January 21, 2017. The cap on registrations is 400 participants in the Half, 100 in the Quarter, and 200 in the 5k, so don’t delay in signing up! Registration for this event and the half marathons series (one half marathon in each season) are tracking higher than last year, according to Uberthons. The January NewYearathon has been canceled – so those participants are encouraged to register early for the Winter event by the organizing team. The half is $60, the quarter is $50, and the 5k is $40; the event will be run at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club.
