The final week of August brings a slower race schedule—but not a full stop. With Labor Day landing right on September 1st this year, many events are holding off for the long weekend or waiting to kick off the fall season. Still, if you’re itching to toe the line, there are a handful of fun and varied races across Oregon that are ready to close out the summer running season in style.
The Painted Hills Half is a drive for most of us (stay at the Spoke’n Hostel!), but its a full-on bucket lister.
