Join us for monthly community group runs based out of Arc'teryx Portland Brand Store. Led by our store ambassadors, community partners, and staff, this will be a great opportunity to learn more about trail running and connect with the community. Our goal is to share some of our area's most beautiful trails and reward your effort with new friends and a chance to earn some Arc'teryx gear.
This run will start/end at the Arc'teryx Portland Brand Store, we will run the 7K Aspen Trail Route as one group. We will also be offering a hills clinic as an alternative option. For any runners who want to get better at tackling hills, our Local Ambassadors and Race Team members will be leading the clinic on how to do so. There will be staff leading and trailing the group to accomdate all paces and running levels.
We will be offering a demo of our Norvan LD 3 at the event.

This week, we'll be hosting two distance routes starting and finishing at the store. The 10K route will head into Washington Park to get on the Mac Trail, from there they will ascend up to Pittock Mansion via Wildwood Trail and then descend back to the store via Lower Macleay and Westover Rd. The 5K group will do our classic Japanese Garden Trail but in reverse. This group will start ascending through the Japanese Garden Trail and descending down Mac Trail back to the store. Both groups are welcome to hangout afterwards and enjoy refreshments!

We'll be offering a demo of our Norvan LD 3Â available at the beginning of the run. If you would like to demo a pair, please plan to arrive early to get fitted.
