With the school supplies already stocked at Target, it must be time to start planning for fall (just ignore those 90 degree days in the forecast). One of my newer fall racing traditions is to join in the Appletree Marathon, Half Marathon, and Sunset 5K. Thanks to the schedule for these races, you can participate in the 5K Saturday night and then the marathon or half marathon on Sunday morning and earn a bonus “Beast…
The 2022 Volcanic 50k/25k is an opportunity to explore lava and pumice fields, rivers and dense forested areas surrounding Mt. St. Helens.

St.Helens on Saturday, August 6th from the Marble Mountain Sno-Park at 7:00 AM. The course follows the Loowit Trail for the majority of the…
My summer just started looking a whole lot brighter. The blessing (AND the curse) of writing for Run Oregon is being in the know about the coolest running events in the Pacific Northwest and I can’t even tell you how excited I was to learn about the 2022 Brooks Trail Summit. My first thought when I read about it was “I’m doing this.” So what is the Brooks Trail Summit? Think of the coolest running…
If someone told you to run into a pitch black cave for a marathon PR, would you do it? That is the question that guides so many to the Light at the End of the Tunnel Marathon every summer. This year, on June 12 starting at 7am, you can take on the challenge of 2.4 miles in a tunnel and the joy of 20 miles primarily downhill toward the finish line. And as the race…

When the alarm goes off at 5am on a Sunday morning, it can only mean one thing: Race Day. But with weather predictions for sunshine and temps in the 50s, I hit the snooze button far less times than normal. Besides, that medal wasn’t going to earn itself. Spring Classic is a common race on my spring calendar thanks to the great support and swag provided by Why Racing. This year the event was back…
