The start / finish line will be announced race week with everything…
In 2017, I was introduced to the Gorgeous Relay Series. Having done several relays in the past, some good and some simply memorable, I was eager to try one of the Gorgeous races to see how they measured up. I’d heard that they lived up to their title – Epic and beautiful – and I loved that they were only ONE day relays, something that was much easier for this busy working mom who had…
“How about we don’t assign legs, instead, we draw names before each leg to see who will run; and how about we buddy up on each of them so no one runs alone (as in, we’d each run 2 legs)?” That’s how we started our morning on Saturday, May 18 on the way to the Portland Gorgeous Pub Relay. Well, our morning really when we were less than a mile from Vagabond Brewing and we…

Less than a month remains until the 2019 Gorgeous Portland Pub Relay, hosted by our friends at the Gorgeous Run Series. Their one-day relays are fun and known for offering amazing views, sometimes on less-traveled trails. They have a dedicated following, in part because the more of their relays you run each year, the bigger discounts you get on registration. This year’s Pub Relay is on Saturday, May 18, with the first teams starting at…

One of the most fun one-day relays I have ever done is the Gorgeous Portland Pub Relay, which is back in town on May 19, 2018. While it combines my two favorite hobbies – running and drinking craft beer – it is also great to have a one-day relay that doesn’t require driving forever get to. This event will traverse the Rose City with handoffs taking place at 6 of Oregon’s best breweries! Here is some…
