Celebrate Global Running Day in Portland on June 5th

Can you believe it’s almost June? Time flies—but with June comes more than just longer days and warmer weather. It also brings one of our favorite celebrations: Global Running Day!

If you’re in the Portland area, don’t miss a special community event happening on Wednesday, June 5th. It’s a can’t-miss gathering for runners of all levels and a great way to connect with the local running scene.

This free event will bring together some of Rose City’s best:

• Running stores like Foot Traffic
• Race organizers including Why Racing and ORRC
• Signature races like the Shamrock Run and the Portland Marathon
• Running clubs such as Deadstock Running Club and Rip City Runners
• Local apparel brands like Territory Run Co

Whether you’re looking to meet new running friends, learn about upcoming races, or check out the latest gear (yes, there will be Saucony demo shoes available!), this is a fun and inclusive way to celebrate the joy of running.
