Go Beyond Racing is a fantastic race organization that puts on races all over the place, and is run by two very amazing people. Their races are always well attended, well organized, and a blast to be a part of. But did you know that Go Beyond is run by runners? Maybe you did, which is why it’s no surprise that they get out for runs just like the rest of us, and sometimes they…
Due to a job change by yours-truly, the Friday night Run Oregon Stickmen run is moving to downtown Tigard. And due to swim lessons and something called “being a good partner,” it’s moving to a schedule of the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month. On months where there’s a 5th Friday, we’ll play it by ear! Starting January 3, the group will meet at around 5:45-5:55p in front of Tigard Taphouse to start the…
Recently, I’ve been fortunate enough to find a network where all runners get complete and total support. This group is understandably appealing to many newbie runners, and those who might be intimidated by runs where everyone wears tank tops and split-side shorts. It made me realize that since I ran my first organized road race about 15 years ago, I’ve actually forgotten that when I first started … I had no idea what I was…
The usual Stickmen Brewing Run is on Fridays, but since Stickmen is having Customer Appreciation Day on Tuesday, January 15, we’re having an extra run to celebrate. The run will start at 5:30p from the Stickmen Tualatin Beer Hall, located at 19475 SW 118th Ave (SW 118th and SW Herman, nearish Tualatin Community Park). The planned route is a 3-mile loop with a little out and back at the end to make it a true 5k.…
We are lucky in Oregon, where there are many locally-owned running stores in towns from Ashland to Portland. We’re also lucky in that the owners of these stores aren’t content with “just” selling shoes … they consider it their privilege to offer group runs, help with races, and support youth and other cause running and racing programs. Eugene Running Company is one of these stores. ERC has been an award-winning store in the running capital…
Do you ever find yourself in the Eugene area the first Saturday of the month? Wanna run or walk Pre’s Trail with a researcher from the University of Oregon? U of O has been hosting the Run with a Reseracher Run/Walk. The beauty of this run is that if you have commitment issues, there is no sign up required. Just show up at the “O” Desk at Erb Memorial Union and do it! You’ll be led…
The Tualatin Discovery Run is this Thursday, September 28. This is a free, family-friendly group run and walk from Road Runner Sports at 7063 SW Nyberg Road in the Nyberg Woods Shopping Center, starting at 6:30p. Everyone checks the locations on the map (as shown above) and then sets out. Last month, RRS provided pace group leaders for various running speeds and a walking group, which was actually a lot of fun as I was…
Due to Hood to Coast, the Tualatin Discovery Run was moved to this Thursday, August 31. The Discovery Run is a very fun, family-friendly, walker-friendly scavenger hunt-style run from the Tualatin Road Runner Sports store in the Nyberg Woods Shopping Center. The run starts at 6:30p, when a large map is revealed with the various checkpoints. Some of them are inside local businesses and some are along the Discovery Trail, in nearby Brown’s Ferry Park,…
This is not a race, nor a fun run. Run with a Researcher is a monthly run/walk on the University of Oregon’s Campus and Pre’s Trail that will be led by a different UO researcher each month. It’s your chance to talk with them about what they’re studying while getting some exercise. The next one will be on Saturday, September 2; all runs start at 9a from the “O” desk at the new Erb Memorial…
Are the cherry blossoms blooming yet? Find out this weekend at Coach Jim’s free marathon and half marathon training run! The route is made up of two segments. Those training for a spring half marathon should run one of the loops while marathoners should run both, provided that you are at that mileage with your training. If not, both segments are out-and-backs so you can just turn around early. The first route is just over 10…
