One of our favorite off-season events are these Group Runs in Places We Don’t Have Races. They are a nice way to stay motivated to get out and explore with others when the winter weather may have you thinking of just staying in. The three runs this year are in the Columbia River Gorge, on the Oregon Coast, and near Mt. St. Helens. They are each out-and-back routes so you can go the whole way or make yours shorter. We’ll meet at a brewpub afterwards to hang out and get some food and drink together.

Strava maps of the route is published on each group run event on our Calendar. The routes are not marked and everyone is responsible to know the trail. We will regroup a few times along the way, but there are not any You’re Awesome Cones to follow and no sweepers. We recommend downloading the Strava gpx to your watch or phone or both.
