Foot Traffic’s Holiday Half (10m, 10k, and 5k) is one of, if not THE, premier December race in Oregon. We previewed this Portland race that starts and finishes at the LEED Platinum-certified Daimler Trucks North America campus on Swan Island.
If you can’t make it out toe race, check out the courses in Strava to run on your own this holiday season.
If you aren’t in the mood for that, we also want to highlight the shorter Waud Bluff Trail to Dog Park segment that is a part of this course – the gradual curve along North Willamette Blvd from north to south. The segment is about 1.57 miles and has been ran over 33k times from over 7300 (!) total participants.
Also, if you use Strava (or want to get started – it’s free!) please join the Run Oregon club! We currently have 866 members! It’s a fun way to keep track of your miles and see how others in the area are doing.
Strava is an online training and racing log for runners and cyclists. The basic account is free and requires you to create a login. Note that this is not sponsored by Strava, nor endorsed or supported in any way by Strava. It’s just a fun thing we’re going to do to give some speedy shout-outs to area runners and pose a challenge to those of you willing to take on their segment.
