If you live in Oregon, you know that running along the coast is a huge perk of living in the N.W. Running on the beach is even better and we are very fortunate to feel the salty air on our faces as we make our way across the sand, sun shining upon us or perhaps some misty or driving rain assaults us as we make our way in the distance. Whatever the weather, consider yourself…
Not that any of us need an excuse to visit the beach, but if you do, make this event part of the plan! In the beautiful coastal city of Manzanita, the Beach Walk & Run 5k and 10k (or kid’s 1 miler!) is in its 27th year and takes place on Saturday, July 22nd. The course is actually on the sand, stretching from the cliffs of Neakhanie Mountain to the Nehalem Bay Jetty. It is incredibly…
Last year we made a girl’s weekend out of the Warrior Love Run in Manzanita. We had a blast hiking Neahkanie Mountain, eating at Left Coast Siesta and shopping at Moxies, all of my Manzanita favorites. The weather was perfect and the memories were priceless. This year we decided to make a couples’ weekend out of it. The weather didn’t cooperate, Moxies was still under construction after the tornado and we totally forgot to stop…
Run Oregon loves running – that’s no surprise. But we also love the Pacific Northwest and all that it has to offer. Running is a part of us, but it does not fully define us. In our “Make a Day of It” feature, we aim to showcase some great local non-running events and highlight where to run and how to make the most of your experience! The next installment of this series is The Houses on Manzanita Beach!…
The Warrior Love 5K/10K is back for its third year on Saturday, February 4th in Nehalem, Oregon. This run isn’t just a good excuse to escape to the coast, but also raises money for the S.H.E. Warriors, a running club for 4th and 5th grade girls. The club encourages self-confidence and promotes friendships as they train together for local races. The cause is great and the run is equally awesome. Starting at Nehalem Bay State…
This year, the Manzanita Beach Run/Walk will take place on Saturday, July 12th in Manzanita, OR. The run takes place entirely on the beach, most of it on the hard pack near the water’s edge. The 5k and 10k will start at the same time from the same start line and head south towards their respective turnaround point.
