I don’t know about you, but running season is off to a rough start for me. I’m feeling sluggish and unmotivated, despite the fact that I have a marathon to train for. However, race season is right around the next corner, and I need something to help hold me accountable, and The Oregon Brewery Running Series is always the perfect way to get out the door and just have fun. After the recent Brewery Series…
If you’re looking for a festive run for the whole family, Jingle Bells Run in Eugene could be a great pick. Race, jog, or walk a 5K or 15K, or team up with family and friends for the three-runner 15K relay. For the kids, there’s a free Rudolph Run and a visit from Santa. Dressing up is encouraged, too, to get in the spirit of the season. The 5K and 15K courses both start in…

It was a gorgeous day for a 5k with Oregon Brewery Running Series at Threshold Brewing on May 15th! As always, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, with our hosts in good spirits and our race directors as cheery as ever. I dragged my husband along with me for this 5k race, and since he’s not much of a runner and his knee has been giving him some issues, we decided to enjoy a walk…
The Oregon Brewery Running Series has become the only running event I can get my husband to participate in. Why? Because he’s not a runner, but he loves breweries, and this walk/run is the true definition of a “Fun Run.” This is an untimed and pretty short 5k”ish,”, it’s super casual, and there’s always a free beer at the end. It’s also a really fun way to have a date with a friend or loved…
