Run Oregon loves running – that’s no surprise. In our newest “Make a Day of It” feature, we aim to showcase some information Matt has been working through on his runcation planning to Nashville and Knoxville later this month. My wife and I enjoy exploring new places together, and I especially love it when running and leisure can be combined into one memorable trip (she’s less excited about the running parts). Now that safe leisure…
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 new “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! We recently checked out The Oregon Garden Resort,…
79 78 73 76 82 85 81 79 77 These are the temperatures for LA over the next week and a half. Things here in the Pacific NW haven’t been as bad this year as last, but I am already starting to yearn for warm temperatures and dry skies. I am going to be in Southern California for work next month and was thrilled to see that the Griffith Park Trail Marathon (Half & 50k)…
When I think of states that love the outdoors, my mind always goes to the Pacific NW and the mountain states – like Colorado and Utah. I think it’s the fact that all of these states seem to have similar traits – easy and quick access to mountains, hills, backcountry, trails, and everything needed to explore the pure awesomeness of nature. Though I may be biased, when I think of running, I feel that Oregon…
Summer is in full swing and is obviously the time for vacations or “run-cations” across the country. I am heading to Anaheim and Hawaii in the next few months and am already planning out my running routes and (hopefully!) races. While I travel a bit for work and we try to be a relatively active and mobile family throughout the year, we try to make our summers the one big vacation – complete with those…

This recap was submitted by Run Oregon reader, and RD of the Lincoln City Half Marathon, Gail Kimberling. Feel free to Submit a Guest Post in the “Contact Us” tab if you are wanting to write a preview or recap your running experiences as well! What do you do when you hit a milestone birthday … party? hide? shop? How about running a marathon in a foreign country? While the latter might seem crazy to some, it was…
Runner’s World Magazine recently listed the Honolulu Marathon in the Top 10 Marathons in the U.S., and my sister Jill lives in E’wa Beach just north of Honolulu. She offered to provide runner support if I ran, and I had a few days extra days of vacation I had to use by the end of the year or lose them, so I just had to run this one. This race was really different from most of the…
On Saturday, May 3rd, I woke up early to head off on an adventure to North Carolina to participate in the Mike to Mike Half Marathon and explore the town of Fayetteville. My journey started as I left Portland towards the East Coast. My flight to Atlanta went very smoothly, and I was aboard one of the new Delta Airlines planes which had TV’s in the back of each headrest. That made the 5 hour flight…
On Sunday, May 4th I participated in the Mike to Mike Half Marathon in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I flew from Portland and landed in Fayetteville, North Carolina the evening before the race. I was lucky enough to have someone else pick up my race packet for me prior to the race, which I was told went smoothly. The race bag included a race bib, a water bottle, a grey tech t-shirt, flyers for other local races, and miscellaneous samples…
