We are so lucky to have so many trail running options in Oregon, and perhaps this is the year you’ll want to check out the 2023 Sisters Country running event, brought to you by Alpine Running Company. Kick off your summer running in the heart of Sisters at Village Green Park on Sunday, May 7th. This event will offer you the choice of a solo 20 miler, a team 20 miler, or a half marathon.…
There’s saying about races in the Pacific Northwest races that if you add beer to a race, people will come. The Bend Beer Chase on May 6, 2023 offers the best of both worlds. This (up to) six-person, one day relay consists of 12 legs of varying distance from 4-8 miles per leg with each runner on the team running at least two legs. The course starts at 10 Barrel Brewing, travels to Richmond, and…
One of my favorite relays is fast approaching: the Three Capes Relay is Saturday, February 25th. Running from Tillamook to Pacific City, this is a 26.2-mile relay with five legs that can be run solo or in a team of up to 5 people. If you are planning on running or walking this one (or want to pull together a team quick), be sure to sign up by Monday – February 10th is the deadline…
Relay races are such a great way to be with friends, create memories, and get active. Three Capes Relay has been very popular amongst the Run Oregon team. We have had many racers over the years participate in this great race, myself included. With so many relay races to choose from, this one is definitely a top race in my book. The course, the distances, and the scenery are just a few reasons why I always recommend…
Runners all over the US, (and now all over the world thanks to some great international race options,) have heard of Hood To Coast. Aptly called “the Mother of All Relays,” it’s the most popular relay in the world and has been traveling from the mountains to the beaches of Oregon for over 30 years. But if 2 days in a sweaty van don’t appeal to your sense of adventure, Hood To Coast has a…
Everyone wants to start out the year on the right foot. And runners want to start on the right foot then the left foot then the right foot and so on until the finish line. Thanks to the Resolution Relay, you can get lots of right and left steps in and do it with some friends. The 2023 Resolution Relay is also called the B.Y.O.B., as in Bring Your Own Baton. The half marathon distance…
Welcome to the 10th year of the Hell of the Northwest Trail Relay! There are several running options for this gorgeous trail run through Alsea Falls. If running solo is your thing, there’s a full marathon, a half marathon, and a 10k. Or if you want to make it especially epic, run the relay with 2, 3, or 4 people. And since this race is being held in October (October 22nd to be exact,) this…
Run Oregon loves the Columbia Gorge, and Hood River is one of our favorite places to explore. Aside from the great breweries and small-town charm, the scenery is breathtaking. There are a few cool places to run, and one of them happens to be the Columbia Gorge Marathon this fall. As quoted from a Run Oregon blogger’s experience in a previous year: I can only speak to the half marathon distance, but I thought the…
Appropriately named, Hell of the Northwest Trail Runs promises just that – hellish climbs and difficult courses. But what makes this tough race more heavenly is the gorgeous scenery runners will be encountering. This race offers a full, half, 10K and – new this year – a marathon relay. This event takes place in a little city just outside of Corvallis in the coastal mountain range of Oregon. This means the race is covered by…
