For this new event, participants sign up for teams of one to five participants to complete five…
I really can’t think of a better way to usher out winter and say hello to spring than to participate in the last 5k of the 2021-2022 PRC Winter 5k Series. We might not be through February yet and we might have some more cold days ahead, but it’s sure starting to feel a lot like we are on the other side now. And the last race of this three-race series certainly felt like a…
This summer evening family 5K is scheduled to return on Sunday, August 29th, with some details still tentative at this time. SW5K is part of the ‘Outdoor Sunday Evenings’ event series at SWBible Church. It offers separate start times for a 5K run and 5K walk, and a 1-mile fun run later in the evening after the 5K races conclude. It’s a family-friendly event with age group awards from the under-12s all the way to…
Once a band nerd, always a band nerd. And as a tuba player, I was a MAJOR band nerd. Which is why I excited to share about this upcoming event that brings together my inner band nerd with my outer runner (plus some feel good help out the kids to boot). Westview Band is putting on their first-ever 5K as a fundraiser to program needs, like uniforms, instruments, guest instructors, and other things that make…
The SW5k (formerly the SW Bible 5k) is this Sunday night and it’s only $10 to sign up. Registration includes BBQ dinner after the race, but online registration is only open through July 11. This race has been growing the past few years, and there’s now a large competitive contingent as well as a good number of walkers, making it great for participants of all paces. The route is not really a “walk in the…

Running for its 7th year this July 28th, the Beaverton Sun Run is a great local race put on by the Beaverton Rotary Club that helps students from elementary through graduation. Funds from this 5k/10k are used to provide books for young students to have in their home, give dictionaries to 4th graders, and support graduates heading to a Vocational Training program or a college/university program. Registration for the Beaverton Sun Run is open now…
Last year I tried my best to encourage everyone and their mom to register for the Run Northbest 5k Series, which was run in South Beaverton from MurrayHill Park. It was such a fun series, at such a low price, with cold northwest beers at the finish. It’s where I met my friends Nichole and Kim, and where I actually won a race for the first time in my life. So this year, guys, help me…
The 7th annual Stoller Community 5K Run/Walk (and Jr. Jaguar Jog!) will be held on Sunday, April 28, 2019 in the Bethany / Cedar Mill area of Beaverton.
