The Newport Resolution Run on Saturday, January 7, 2023 not only offers a 5k, 10k, and half marathon, but also ties a Polar Bear Plunge into the event.

Anyone in Portland who’s ever run a Run With Paula event knows how awesome the races are.

As mentioned previously, there are three events in the series, and the first one is coming up on December 17th in Beaverton. You…
“Santa” and “posse” are not words that I’ve thought of together before. But add in “Run” and anything becomes possible. 2022 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, you’ll receive a finisher’s medal…

Signing up for a December race in Portland means taking a gamble with wilder odds than anything in Vegas. In my years running the Holiday Half, I’ve experienced downpours, frost, a smokey closure, perfect brisk sunshine, and wet snowflakes covering my cap. And I’ve also experienced the most well-earned gingerbread cookies ever. The Holiday Half includes multiple distance options, including half marathon, 10-miler, 10K, and 5K options.
