Oktoberfest is a wonderful tradition and a great time to celebrate the German style street fairs and festivals. That’s why you shouldn’t miss the Mt Angel Oktoberfest, which takes place September 15th-18th in Mt Angel, Oregon. And now, the Oktoberfest Road Race is back in 2022 as part of the celebration! This race used to take place on Saturday morning before most of the Oktoberfest gets going, but this year it will take place on…
Update: As of 8/7, this event has been canceled. Oregon Road Runners Club (ORRC) has been offering quality races in the Pacific Northwest for over 50 years. In 2022, they are bringing us all a brand new race in a brand new style. For the Poker Relay, it’s all about your cards at the end of the race. For this new event, participants sign up for teams of one to five participants to complete five…
The South Coast Running Club’s Sunset Bay Trail Run is just a few weeks away on Saturday, September 3, 2022 in Charleston, OR. The 4-mile, 15K, and half marathon distances are just $25 each! The race directors have focused on the experience instead of swag to keep entry costs cheap, though race shirts will be available for purchase and there will be prize giveaways that are donated by local businesses. This race will deliver on…
With the school supplies already stocked at Target, it must be time to start planning for fall (just ignore those 90 degree days in the forecast). One of my newer fall racing traditions is to join in the Appletree Marathon, Half Marathon, and Sunset 5K. Thanks to the schedule for these races, you can participate in the 5K Saturday night and then the marathon or half marathon on Sunday morning and earn a bonus “Beast…
BADCAT? More like BADASS!!! For those of you hardcore ultra runners and athletes out there, perhaps you’ve been looking for an event to take your badassery (is that a word?) up a notch. Perhaps a mere 100 mile ultra run was too easy for you. Or maybe that Ironman Tri was a walk in the park. Maybe it’s time you signed up for the BADCAT! What is the BADCAT Ultra Distance Triathlon? Only one of…
One of my very favorite friends lives in Canby and she’s not wrong: it’s a cute little town somewhere between Portland and Salem. It’s also home to the Canby Dahlia Run, a half marathon and 10K coming up this year on August 27th for its 11th year. The half marathon takes racers on a scenic course past a golf course, through wooded forests, and a stretch along the Willamette River. After two miles through quaint…
One of the first ever running events I ever participated in was the Silver Falls Half Marathon. At that point, it was essentially solely a 13.1 that had a loyal, and growing, participatory group. Fast forward to 2022 and this November will showcase the now-branded Silver Falls Trail Runs, which sells out super fast, spans a full three days, and features 5 distances from a 5k up to a 50k. What a difference a dozen…
It’s time to add to your race calendar the 2022 Hardesty Hardcore trail run! This 14 mile or 5.5 mile trail run, which is the fourth event, (of six,) in the Run Big Trail Series by Level 32 Racing, takes place on Saturday, September 3rd, 2022 at the Hardesty Trailhead located just west of Oakridge, Oregon. The Hardesty Hardcore event offers two distances, the 14 miler which is considered very challenging and has a 4…
The 2022 Volcanic 50k/25k is an opportunity to explore lava and pumice fields, rivers and dense forested areas surrounding Mt. St. Helens. This scenic race is brought to us by our friends at Go Beyond Racing. The 50k runners will experience 7400 feet of elevation gain and loss while circumnavigating Mt. St.Helens on Saturday, August 6th from the Marble Mountain Sno-Park at 7:00 AM. The course follows the Loowit Trail for the majority of the…
The Catherine Creek Classic half marathon, 5K, and 1 mile race is a scenic event in beautiful Eastern Oregon. The mostly downhill half marathon starts in the Wallowa National Forest and ends at Union High School. The point to point half marathon loses 1,100 feet from start to finish. Sounds like an opportunity for a PR! All distances are point to point, so participants will meet at Union High School then take the shuttle to their…
