Pacific NW Activity Sites

Hello to everyone and especially fellow PAcific NW'erners. I want to do a 5k a month and will travel to as far north as Tacoma (from Salem , south of Portland) or Eugene, OR for 5ks. Anyone else doing that? If so, what websites do you use to locate your races?

Thanks

I've often wondered how people find out about all the 5K races they do. I hope you get some answers, the info would be good for many of us I think.

Hi Mary - check out Active.com.  It will tell up upcoming events in your area, and if you join, will even give you discounts on many of the race fees!

Love your goal!

I find mine through advertising, word of mouth, and active.com. If you download the active.com Couch 2 5K app, you can locate 5Ks and sign up from the app! It doesn't include them all, though, but I'm sure you could do a search of some kind (Google or bing) to find close 5Ks you're interested in. Good luck!

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I appreciate the help! I am now registered for an 8k in Spokane, WA ---- perhchance anyone else going?

Go to one of your local running stores. They should have a calendar of all upcoming runs. They should be able to fit you with a good running shoe. I have lost toe nails from improperly fit shoes.

Good luck, DeeW

OH! excellent! Two years ago, when I was living in MT, before I moved to OR I belonged to a running club that had a BAck of the Pack sub-club and I always knew about the races! I walk them, I am really OK with that although I am so looking forward to running again.
