The Oregon Brewery Running Series puts on some amazing running events. For those who have never participated in one of these races, why not? They are family friendly, untimed, and in all honesty, put the “fun” in fun run. This June, OBRS are jet-setters with three races – one at the Oregon Coast, one in Portland, and one in Bend. Each route is always 5k-ish in distance, and open for runners, walkers and even those…
It’s time for the 2022 Independence Day 5k/10k/Half Marathon and it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Held at Champoeg State Park in St. Paul, Oregon, the run starts at 8am and winds through paved trails along the Willamette River. The 5k is $45, the 10k is $55, and the half marathon is $69. You can run any of the distances as a virtual race also! In addition to the race fee, make…
It is almost a given fact that races start in the morning, generally at 7 or 8 am. The Silvan Ridge Twilight 5K switches things up with a 6 pm start time at the Silvan Ridge Winery, just outside of Eugene. The course is described as an out and back on a rolling road near farmlands and vineyards, so expect great views on a rural course. A unique perk of this event is that registration…
Summer is quickly approaching, and that can mean only one thing – the Salem Summer Solstice 10k and 5k is coming back again! OK, OK – I know that isn’t probably something most people are thinking – but I know without a doubt that my three girls are. It wasn’t but just two days ago when my oldest said, “hey Dad – remember that race you do with the ice cream afterwards? That’s pretty soon…
One of my favorite parts of participating in organized races is running in new and unique locations. While I have been to the Oregon Zoo many times, the course for the Summer Solstice 5k at the Zoo will take participants through some areas that are typically off limits to visitors. The event takes place on Saturday, June 11 and its 7pm start time is one hour after the zoo grounds close to regular visitors. The event…
There is something so thrilling about a brand new race. A new course. A new challenge. A new finish line to pursue. Having grown up in a high desert area, I know the beauty that Redmond’s Dry Canyon Trail has to offer. Redmond Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K includes three different distances that will take runners and walkers through the center of the city and out into the wilds. Event staff will ensure that everyone…
It’s time for the 22nd Annual Helvetia Half Marathon/10k/5k!! Last year, Run With Paula Events made a triumphant return after COVID, and we’re back for another successful run in 2022! The Helvetia Half Marathon was voted the BEST HALF MARATHON in the Northwest, and it’s easy to see why! The course tells runners to “Leave the City Behind,” and does just that. The challenging course starts at Hillsboro Stadium, meanders out onto rolling hills, through…
The Lake Oswego Lake Run is finally returning! This well-known hilly race includes a 10K, 5K, a virtual option of either distance, and a Kids’ Dash. It also includes the annual Family Fun Festival at the finish area – Millennium Plaza. Proceeds from this event go to Northwest Housing Alternatives. There will also be a food drive for low income seniors living in Lake Oswego, so don’t forget to bring a few non-perishable food items…
Of all the things that I am fueled by before, during, and after a race (oatmeal, nervousness, water, energy gel, the risk of embarrassing myself), the best thing I can think of may just be fine wine. The 2022 Fueled by Fine Wine Half, Quarter, and newly added 5k is a local race held in the fertile grape growing town of Dundee. The race partners with local Dundee charities and Oregon sponsors to support the…
