On April 28th, I got to run in the 7th (and possibly last) Stoller Community 5K race. As you might guess from the name, this is a local community race centered around Stoller Middle School in Beaverton. Local, yes. Small, not so much — over 550 runners finished the race, which is all the more remarkable considering that the Race for the Roses took place the same morning. I arrived at Stoller Middle School a…

Proceeds will be used to improve the physical and mental health of students at Stoller Middle School in the Bethany area. Projects include…

With the Stoller Community 5k in its fifth year, the amount of runners has doubled since the first race, and two thirds of the participants are students of Stoller Middle School and surrounding schools. These kids are absolutely amazing. I was so happy to be a part of this event as it epitomizes community involvement and what this area of Portland is all about.

There are a LOT of races out there. And we tend to like most of them. We also tend to participate in more of them than an average runner, just because there are 17 of us and one of you. So here is a compilation of Run Oregon’s favorite 5ks which are still running strong. (In alphabetical order by each blogger’s last name:) Kelly Barten: The Stoller Vineyards 5k, usually held in the latter half…
