Running Clubs in Portland: A Local Guide
Portland has 13 running clubs and group runs in our directory — enough that whatever you’re after, from an easy social jog to a marathon build-up, there’s a group for it here. The scene leans toward 2 social & fun-run crews, 2 women's groups, 2 track & speed groups and 1 trail groups.
Most of these crews meet somewhere social and easy to find — a running store, a brewery or taproom, a park, a track, or a coffee shop — and set off together at a set day and time each week. The great majority of community group runs in Portland are free; you simply turn up. And if you’re worried about being too slow, don’t be: plenty of Portland clubs run at all paces or “no-drop,” meaning nobody gets left behind.
