The Newport Marathon & Half Marathon is one of those bucket-list races in the Pacific Northwest, a beautiful coastal option for us all. The bad news is that the permits were a no-go this year due to Covid restrictions, which is unfortunate for the race community. But the good news is, you can still show your support and run this race virtually in 2021! You’ll be mailed a T-Shirt and a medal, and you can…

Join Eclectic Edge Racing on Sunday, May 2nd at 9:00AM for the annual 2021 Eugene Peace Run. This race came to fruition as a result of the Dalai Lama’s first visit to Eugene in 2013.

Level 32 Racing’s Run Big Trail Series started with a muddy but beautiful day at the Bristow Trail Run on Saturday, February 1st. It was drizzling off and on that morning, but for the most part the rain held off. But for an early season trail run, I knew it would be slow going in the muck (and I strategically wore shorts for that reason). It’s a loop course of a hair over 5 miles,…

January is the typical month for me pick a half marathon to kick start my training for the new year. I had never run Cascade before. It’s been highly recommended to me by several running friends, so for 2020, it was my first half! 2020 was Cascade’s 21st year. It’s hosted by Willamette Valley Road Runners and offers not only a half, but a 10k and 2 miler. Race day morning (January 19th) I drove…
