Join us for monthly community group run based out of the 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 Loop as one group. We have added an extended route option if runners want a little more distance. The extension would keep on Wildwood Trail past Aspen Trail and then descend down Wild Cherry. It adds about 3 miles.
There will be staff leading and trailing the group to accommodate all paces and running levels. Please bring headlamps if you have them, we have a few on hand to lend out if needed.
We will be offering a demo of our Norvan LD 3 at the event.

This week, we'll be hosting one distance route due to the daylight that will start and finish at the store. The route will start at the store and head down NW 24th to NW Thurman St., runners will then turn left on NW Thurman St. and take the staircase down to Lower Macleay Trail. Runners will head towards the Stone House and then ascend on Wildwood up to Aspen Trail where they will descend on the way back to the store. There will be an option for an extended version of the Aspen Route that will stay on Wildwood past Aspen Trail and descend down Wild Cherry Trail if folks would like a longer route (12K).
Â
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.
