Believe or not, 2022 is just two months away. After 2020 feeling like it lasted FOREVER, 2021 has been a strange mix of highs and lows with sprints and stalls that kept us all wondering what day / week / month is it. So, when I tell you that 2022 is two months away, I’m really telling myself. And since I’m a runner, obviously that means I’m also making plans for 2022 races. First one…
Making New Year’s Resolutions is easy. Keeping them is hard. Terrapin Events has a plan to help you start off the new year well with their Back on Track event. This 30-day challenge involves multiple distance, style, and collaboration options to keep you moving throughout the first month of 2021. And of course, there is amazing swag to earn at the end. Let’s start with distance options: 100, 200, or 300 miles between January 1…
We’re all ready for a new year and a fresh start – 2020 won’t soon be forgotten but 2021 brings new hope and, with any luck, races! As is tradition in Eugene on New Year’s Eve / New Year’s Day tradition, Level32 Racing’s First Run 10k and 5k will be on for this year! First Run takes place on both New Year’s Eve at 11:50 p.m., and offers an additional race on New Year’s…
Nestled exactly in between Medford and Ashland is the small city of Talent, which is home to the annual Frostbite Run! Just after New Year’s, a 10K and 5K start at the middle school and run out into the countryside on Foss Rd. Hosted by the South Oregon Runners (SOR) the course is flat and straightforward (i.e. fast!). There will be custom medals for all finishers, and age group ribbons for first, second, and third.…
The 2020 Deschutes River Half Marathon & 2.020 Mile Run/Walk, hosted by XDog Events, in Maupin is a great way to spend your New Year’s morning. Getting the first run of the year done with a scenic half marathon (or the 2.020 mile run / walk) will shake off the past year and, ideally, any lingering side effects from the night before! The half marathon will begin at 9:00AM at the BLM access road –…
Whether we’re ready or not, 2019 is fast approaching and if you’re anything like me, you’re scouring race websites, checking dates and distances, and filling up weekends with running adventures to get early bird pricing, lottery dates, or training weeks in order. It’s an exciting time of year and even if you don’t believe in “New Year’s resolutions”, running into the new year (and literally running into the ocean) at the 7th annual Newport Resolution Run…
Ever had one of these thoughts after crossing a finish line: • “That was so much fun. Too bad it’s over.” • “Wow, I could totally have done that better.” • “The race is over. Now what am I going to train for?” • “Last race of the year. I wonder what next year will bring.” Well then, have I got a race for you. 🙂 First Run in Eugene gives participants the opportunity to…
This recap was submitted by Run Oregon reader Drew Roberts. Feel free to Submit a Guest Post in the “Contact Us” tab if you want to get involved. Run number one of 2015 is in the books for runners all over Oregon and for most of us, the weather was amazing for a New Year’s Day jog. For 47 Central Oregonians, today marked the RORK Resolution Run; a day to meet at a coffee shop and run…
The Willamette Valley is really getting into the swing of things for the new year. While Salem has a couple New Years morning events, runners can head to Silverton to experience a race at the stroke of Midnight on January 1. The 2015 New Year’s Eve Midnight Glow Run is a relatively new event, but seems to pack a ton of fun into the small town of Silverton. With a race name like that, they…
After a night of staying up late, partying, and generally being unhealthy, what better way to kick off the new year than a little run?! The Hangover Run 3k, put on by Run Wild Adventures, is a very simple, short, and fun event (yet still timed) that will allow you to get 2015 kicked off right. This race takes place in a farm area just off of Sunnyview Rd east of Salem. Runners will do…
