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 10K Pittock Mansion Loop and Japanese Garden 5K Loop as two groups. There will be staff leading and trailing the group to accommodate 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 connect on to Mac Trail, the group will then get on to Wildwood Trail heading up to Pittock Mansion. The group will stop at Pittock to take in the view and then the group will descend to Cumberland Trail and Cumberland Rd on the way back to the store. The 5K group will run into Washington Park and get on to the Japanese Garden Trail, they will circle the park and then catch Wildwood Trail before descending Mac Trail back to the store.

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.
