What we’re about
Portland Trail Runners is a beginner friendly running group that meets every Saturday morning in and around the Portland area. We love exploring all that Portland has to offer, including the trails of Forest Park, Tryon Creek, the waterfront area, Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, and whatever new trails we find!

"Veronica and I are trying this new fad called, uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. It might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild."
