While I have never been a beer drinker, I definitely understand the fun, social aspect of the brewery runs. Labeled as a ‘5K-ish’ event, with no official timing or medals, the Brewery Running Series is a great way to get together with friends in a nice part of Portland. Ecliptic Brewing is located in the neighborhoods of North Portland, and have mapped out an open course meandering north west from their location. This stop on…
I love beer and cider. After now having visited over 400 different breweries and cideries, it’s fair to say I have sampled a lot (follow me on Untappd). From post-race pints and run club meeting locations, to beer miles and relays, running and the kegged nectar seem to go hand-in-hand in Oregon. Our Kegs and Legs feature is where beer drinking runners like me can go to find some new favorite beverages. If you haven’t read about…
In the weeks leading up to the Oregon Brewery Running Series event at Portland Brewing, we were greeted with cold temperatures and seemingly constant rain. While I can appreciate and navigate these things in small doses (like I did at the recent Corvallis Half Marathon), I’d much prefer to have better weather – especially when running with children. Luckily, things took an amazingly positive turn weather-wise on race weekend and me and my daughter tackled the…
As a Run Oregon blogger here in the PNW, I know that we are always amazed and excited when we write about races that have stood the tests of time and have been put on for 10, 20, even 30+ years. There is something special about races that have ventured out and created something new, and then continually put in the work to perfect it. But even those steady events have had to evolve over…

The first Oregon Brewery Running Series of their “Spring Series” is coming to Portland Brewing on April 21, 2018. Not only will the 5k fun run be going on, but it is held in conjunction with the Earth Day Brewfest. Run Oregon was out at each of the 4 winter series OBS races and we encourage you to read our reviews – we had a blast at ALL of them. In addition to the all…

The 2nd annual Gorgeous Portland Pub Relay hit the Portland streets on Saturday, May 21, and Run Oregon (along with 39 other teams) was on scene to participate. We had a participant in the inaugural event last year and were intrigued to send a whole group of Run Oregon bloggers this time around. We knew that this event was untimed, so we had no real expectations for our pace. For us (as well as the vast majority of…
