This was the 2nd annual Fanciest 5K. Ever. Unsurprisingly, and just like last year, it was a blast! I always enjoy themed races like this where you get to see everybody dressed up and having a blast. I especially like these races after the holidays where I know I ate too much and drank too much, as hitting a PR isn’t in the back of my mind. It also doesn’t hurt knowing the money raised…
This was my first year running the Salem Run’ucopia but I have a feeling it won’t be my last! I was blown away by how many people were all running this year on Thanksgiving Day, with 866 finishers between all 3 races! We had a small group of us that all ran together this year and at the last minute I swapped my 10K entry for the 5K as I was not feeling particularly great…
Sometimes races are about getting up early on a Saturday morning and preparing to reach the limits. Other times they are about wearing themed clothes and having a good time in the evening. The Keizer Jingle Dash 5K on December 14th is one of those, with prizes for best costume and a parade route course with plenty of spectators. As mentioned above, this race is in the evening, with a 6 pm start time,…
If you have had the distinction of running the Canyon Rumble, you know all about the infamous “M” hill. The massive M stands for Madras, of course, and like one might see in many towns across the country, it represents the local high school. I love trying to spot a massive white letter on a yonder hill, whenever I travel, as it often reminds me of the youth and the runners in those local schools.…

Ever. will not disappoint as you try and squeeze yourself into that old suit or dress you haven’t been able to fit in since before the holidays. The idea is to dress up and don your finest linens as you race through Wallace Marine and Riverfront parks in the…
It’s year 3 for the Redmond Turkey Trot, and if this year is anything like last year, be prepared for an outrageous turnout. In fact, last year’s event was more well attended than any other Thanksgiving running event in Central Oregon…and that’s saying a lot! Perhaps, much of the hype comes from the free HooDoo lift ticket that every participant receives just for signing up in advance. Additionally, there is pie. Much pie. Pie worth…
