I like to arrive to a race early, so the night before the Lake Run I planned out what time I wanted to get there and then worked backwards from there to figure out what time to leave, what time I would get up, etc. On race morning I wasn’t rushed – just the way I like it. As I drove to Lake Oswego I was feeling like I would get there plenty early and…
Now in it’s 42nd year, the Lake Run put on by the Lake Oswego Women’s Club is known for its hilly terrain, great views and is the club’s biggest fundraiser of the year! All proceeds will benefit Annie Ross House, the only family emergency shelter in Clackamas County. The 2018 Lake Run will feature a 10K run, 5K run/walk, kid’s dash and the ever-popular Family Fun Festival all day long! If you are wanting to…
The 41st annual Lake Run, hosted by the Women’s Club of Lake Oswego, takes place at Millennium Plaza in Lake Oswego on Saturday, May 13th starting at 8am. Participants can choose to run the 10k, which is a challenging, hilly loop around the entire lake, or the 5k, which starts and ends in the same spot as the 10k, but takes advantage of a bridge to cut the course short. After the two races and…
The Super Run 5k is a nationwide race series in almost 30 cities across the country. The “Portland” event is actually taking place in Lake Oswego on July 16, 2016. The race will start and finish at George Rogers Park and proceed to an out-and-back along Old River Road, which follows right along the Willamette River.

All this takes place on April 9, 2016, starting at 8 a.m. at the George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego.…
Are you wishing you could run a marathon, but you just haven’t been running as far since the weather has gotten colder and wetter? I would like to suggest you head out to the 2nd annual Micro Marathon in Lake Oswego. This untimed fun run is just 2.62 miles. Perfect for those of you who aren’t ready for the many miles of a marathon, but would like to tell people you are running a (micro) marathon. 100%…
I hadn’t run the Lake Run since 2011, so I was looking forward to returning to one of my favorite races this year. Saturday morning was beautifully sunny and in the 50s – perfect running weather for me!
