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…

Starlight Run will always be my very favorite 5K and the one that I recommend to anyone searching for their first 5K. It was my first 5K and a race that I return to almost every June. There is no other event where you have thousands of cheering crowds along the course. And the fact they added a medal a couple years ago is just the cherry on top. This fun run starts and ends…
Do you like super cute finisher medals? What about some excellent Ice Cream Sandwiches? How about a race that is incredibly well-managed? These are all “must have” items for me when I participate in races, and the Foot Traffic Flat is certain to be absolutely awesome. This event, held on July 4th, 2022 for it’s 19th year on Sauvie Island, fills fast and has limited entries available. This means, if you are at all interested in…

In March 2020, the first major event cancelled in Portland due to COVID-19 was the Shamrock Run. The races generally bring together 15,000 participants, plus volunteers and spectators, all into packed spaces with lots of deep breaths and clinking post-race beers. While the cancellation email was totally expected, it was also just the first of many many many things that had to change in the new normal. After two years of virtual participation in this…
