Therapeutic Associates is a name most Portland-area runners are familiar with. They are a regular sponsor of a variety of running events, providing support in the form of promotion, pre-race taping, and post-race massages, among other things. They’re also a great place to go for physical therapy … and to even prevent getting injured! True story: Therapeutic Associates can help you develop a wellness routine designed to avoid overuse or fatigue injuries by strengthening the muscles that help your running muscles. They even have specialized running programs because let’s face it, if there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we’ve all been injured.
This year they are introducing a series of nine free group runs from their various locations around the Portland metro area. The more of them you attend, the more cool swag you’ll get. If you get to all nine of the runs, you’re entered into a drawing for a free pair of Altra running shoes! (I keep saying run, but walking is supported, too.)
The runs are each Tuesday, starting April 23 and wrapping up June 18. Each run will begin with a warm up at 6:45p and the run/walk will start at 7p. Each one will be mapped through a safe, well-lit location and led by one of Therapeutic Associates’ physical therapists. There’s no charge for any of the runs, just a waiver to sign. You can sign the waiver online by visiting each run’s details page linked below.
