Join Terrapin Events on Valentine’s Day weekend at Lee Farms in Tualatin as couples, families, and friends escape the Valentine’s Day cliche and get down and dirty at the My Muddy Valentine mud obstacle run! The course is rather flat and the obstacles are pretty easy to conquer. If you’re looking for a more competitive edge, there is an elite wave first thing in the morning. After the race, enjoy some free drinks, play some…

Run the Year 2021: Run/Walk 2,021 miles in 2021. This was an awesome virtual running challenge brought to us by Run The Edge. What could go wrong? Whelp. It didn’t go exactly as planned, but I got it done. As a running coach, I advise all my runners going into a race to have three goals. You’ve got you’re “A” goal which is almost out of reach, your “B” goal which is still a challenge…

Check them out below. The Ball Drop Half Marathon/10k/5k is a virtual race option brought to you by Why Racing Events, and not only is the swag great, but it’s a wonderful way to support funding for A Caring Closet,…

By signing up for the 2022 Race for Warmth, you can support this wonderful program and be inspired to get outside in the blustery winter. You can run, walk, or bike; stick to…

Raise your hand if you ready for next year? I feel like we have had a few years in a row of that now… While this question would usually cause me a few moments of reflection before responding, when it comes to 2020 and 2021 ending, my hand can’t get into the air high enough. And because I am a runner, I am thrilled to throw my hand in the air and then get out…

“Santa” and “posse’ are not words that I’ve thought of together before. But add in “Run” and anything becomes possible. Santa’s Posse 5K Run/Walk is a chance to celebrate and do some good in the world, which are two of my favorite things in a race. All participants receive a full Santa’s suit as part of registration. And this is a serious suit: jacket, pants, hat, and beard. Plus, a finisher’s medal that also serves…
