Take a break from eating and continue opting outside with the 2019 Friendsgiving, hosted by our friends at Pink Buffalo Racing! The Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 30th, this event lets you choose between a half marathon, 10K, or 5K distance along the Mill Race path, which offers participants great views of the Willamette River! All of the courses are 100% paved and while not considered hilly, they are also not pancake flat either. You can…
Diamond Lake is a special spot in Southern Oregon that’s a great starting point for so many cool things. It’s not far from Crater Lake, it’s flanked by Mt. Thielsen and Mt. Bailey, it’s just outside the Oregon Outback, near the Umpqua River, hosts the start line of the infamous Cascade Lakes Relay, and is scenic just on its own. Adding to the lineup of “all the things” is the Diamond Lake Half Marathon, coming…
There are so many good things to celebrate in life, and doing so with a bunch of friends can make those good things freaking fantastic. That’s especially true with running. The long miles seem shorter with a friend you can talk to, laugh with, and maybe blame if you decide the distance was a little too far (been there, done that, apologized later). The Oregon Women’s Half Marathon can be a great chance to go…

First thing’s first in describing the Oregon Women’s Half: YES, MEN CAN PARTICIPATE, TOO! This yearly event is a fantastic women’s getaway complete with a race and an afterparty at a winery. Participants can choose from the half marathon or 5K distances, with the promise of a medal and stemless wine glass at the end. Because of course you want to have some awesome bling and your very own glass for some post-race tasting. Along…
Based on the course photos alone, The Florence Half Marathon looks like a fantastic experience. The combination of city streets, riverside roads, and park paths couldn’t be more inviting. The setting and views should evoke serenity and keep your mind off the efforts of the 13.1 miles. Presented by Pink Buffalo Racing, The Florence Half Marathon is scheduled for Saturday, March 16th, and starts and finishes at Miller Park in Florence. The fully paved out-and-back…

This year, Pink Buffalo Racing…
