As a past participant in Bridge of the Gods Run, it makes complete and total sense why this race is sold out. And it would be a great idea if you got on the waitlist for this event right away. Running across that bridge, and then never-ending hills, is simply a great running adventure. The half marathon and 10K routes for Bridge of the Gods begin on the Washington side of the Columbia River, with…
If trail racing is your thing, you must do at least one, if not several, of the many events hosted by Daybreak Racing. Epic cannot begin to describe the views you’ll see, the challenges that will test you, or the journeys that you’ll remember forever. Daybreak is known to bring their “A” game, and their events always run like a well-oiled machine. Everything is well marked, the aid stations are stocked, and there’s food at…
I love a race that takes me somewhere that my regular runs can’t go. And Bridge of the Gods Run is the perfect example of a unique race with the starting line at the Washington edge of a bridge that normally only cars and trucks get to pass over. Lots of pictures get taken in that first mile, and then lots of hills keep you company for the rest of the journey. After crossing over…
Sometimes a race is a perfectly wonderful poor life choice. I feel like this could be my running life motto. Definitely fits for when I decide to complete a 10K and a half marathon in one weekend. My half marathon for this adventure was the Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon from Breakaway Promotions. I completed this same race years ago and had one memory: hills. The course begins on the Washington side of the…

Bridge of the Gods Half Marathon & 10k is one race where you definitely earn your swag. The views are stunning, and being able to cross the Bridge of the Gods on foot is surreal–and the hills seem never ending. It is definitely a unique experience, and a great way to experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest–a staycation race! And while this year was second annual Bridge of the Gods race, it’s clear that the…
The Sternwheeler Days 5k/10k Run and Walk will take place on Saturday, June 27 in conjunction with the Sternwheeler Days in Cascade Locks. This run is organized by the Columbia Gorge Running Club, and with a $2 entry fee (free for CGRC members) it is one of the most affordable races out there.
If you’ve ever had the opportunity in the past to head out to Cascade Locks along the Columbia Gorge, then you already know that this quaint little town hosts some of the most beautiful natural views and landscape Oregon has to offer. This year’s Angela Coe Rainy Day Run gives you a great chance to enjoy some of that beauty, and as many Oregonian’s hope, WITHOUT the actual rain!
