Free group runs in Oregon and SW Washington.
I have found that there’s no better way to gain distance, run faster, and enjoy running more than to find a few folks to run with on a regular basis. The problem is, if you’re new to running (and we’ll use the word “new” for anyone who is getting into it for the first time, or after some time off), it can be intimidating to run with others. You might think you are too slow,…
There are two free Peacock Lane group runs planned (that I know of) this month. If you’re not familiar with Peacock Lane, check it out here. It’s basically one street in SE Portland near SE 39th and Belmont that has Griswold-worth Christmas displays; and on December 18-20, it’s pedestrian-only. Which makes it perfect to visit on a run. The Red Lizards/Foot Traffic NE are hosting a run on Friday, December 18 and Portland Running Company…
It’s time for another NoPo Run Club profile! And then, it’s time for you to join them for one of their Thursday night runs. They meet at Amnesia Brewing at 632 North Beech Street in Portland at 6:30p, and the run starts a 6:45p. Post-run, many people hang out for a well-earned beer! Jenn Hayes, 30, lives in Vancouver, Wash., and works as an occupational therapist at a skilled nursing facility. She’s been a runner…
It’s about time we introduced you to another runner from the NoPo Run Club! Everyone that we’ve talked to from the club is more than happy to tell us what they love about it, because they are a very welcoming bunch. They want YOU to come run with them! Marlene Sivyer was kind enough to share her story with us, which is a great story because she was “not a runner” until she was over…
Here’s another great group run for those of you in the Portland metro area (or visit from out of town on a Wednesday): the NoPo Run Club. Even if you’re new to running or have never been to a group run, you are invited! And if you’re worried about showing up solo – stop worrying because they would love to welcome you to the group. Join them – just go to Bar Bar/Mississippi Studios in Portland…

The group meets every Saturday morning at 8:30 AM and departs at 8:45 AM. The club is a dream come true for both Hyla Ridenour and Woody Davis, both of whom…
We started a new feature last week to highligh great group runs across the area. Like we mentioned last time, for those new to running, a group run can be a great way to get involved, learn more about gear and nutrition, find others at your pace, and learn about fun races in the area. Many times, people are a little nervous to join a group run – which is perfectly understandable. However, you’ll usually find…
