As mentioned previously, there are three events in the series, and the first one is coming up on December 17th in Beaverton. You…
“Santa” and “posse” are not words that I’ve thought of together before. But add in “Run” and anything becomes possible. 2022 Santa’s Posse 5k Run/Walk is a chance to celebrate and do some good in the world, which are two of my favorite things in a race. All participants receive a full Santa’s suit as part of registration. And this is a serious suit: jacket, pants, hat, and beard. Plus, you’ll receive a finisher’s medal…

However, race season is right around the next corner, and I need something to help hold me accountable, and The Oregon Brewery Running Series is always the perfect way to get out the door and just have fun. After the recent Brewery Series…

The newest event on the calendar from the HTC Race Series is the HTC Leprechaun Dash. Come…
I really can’t think of a better way to usher out winter and say hello to spring than to participate in the last 5k of the 2021-2022 PRC Winter 5k Series. We might not be through February yet and we might have some more cold days ahead, but it’s sure starting to feel a lot like we are on the other side now. And the last race of this three-race series certainly felt like a…
