Recently, I’ve been fortunate enough to find a network where all runners get complete and total support. This group is understandably appealing to many newbie runners, and those who might be intimidated by runs where everyone wears tank tops and split-side shorts. It made me realize that since I ran my first organized road race about 15 years ago, I’ve actually forgotten that when I first started … I had no idea what I was…
Happy holidays to all of our readers! Thank you for continuing to check out our posts and following us on social media. Here’s what Run Oregon has been keeping an eye on this week. Remember, if you know a really cool small race, an important registration deadline, or other fun running news, please send it our way so we can share it with our readers!

Jenn Hayes, 30, lives in Vancouver, Wash., and works as an occupational therapist at a skilled nursing facility. She’s been a runner…

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…
