Diamond Lake is a special spot in Southern Oregon that’s a great starting point for so many cool things. It’s not far from Crater Lake, it’s flanked by Mt. Thielsen and Mt. Bailey, it’s just outside the Oregon Outback, near the Umpqua River, hosts the start line of the infamous Cascade Lakes Relay, and is scenic just on its own. Adding to the lineup of “all the things” is the Diamond Lake Half Marathon, coming…

As racers make their way along the scenic 3 mile course beside the river and through the PeaceHealth RiverBend campus, they’ll collect playing cards hoping for the…
In theory, running is a simple sport, but many races are so elaborate and expensive that they seem to miss the point. Two races in greater Oregon that are bucking this trend are the Britt Woods Firehouse Run in Jacksonville and the Firecracker 5k Run/Walk in Harrisburg. Both races are community events meant to encourage runners of all levels to come together. Britt Woods Firehouse Run is organized by Southern Oregon Runners, a not-for-profit running…
The Lincoln City Half has made it’s way onto my ‘must-do’ list a few years ago. Occurring on March 3rd this year, the small but fun race at the coast stood out with the coolest race bibs I have ever seen. With a light blue color featuring an orange octopus peering over the bottom, it will be added to my large collection as a standout piece. After years of enjoying the half marathon course, this…
