Back in Oregon - One Month Six Races

When I got back to Oregon I was looking forward to running some new races. I joined the Oregon Track Club and found Eclectic Edge Racing a company that puts on fun and unique races as well as providing race management for other races. The first race I did was Taco Tuesday 5K at the Eclectic Edge office. The race was good but the taco bar after including beer and soda was amazing. 

The next three races were all local with one at Alton Baker Park, the OTC monthly race in Springfield and the Father’s Day 5k and brunch back at Eclectic Edge headquarters. They were all different except similar in that they weren’t overly large and they felt like small town racing. 

Then my final two races of June actually were small town races north of Eugene. The first was the Brownsville Dam Run and included free breakfast in the park after if you were interested. You could tell that the majority of the runners were locals just from their interactions. 

The final race was the weekend before the 4th of July and was held in Harrisburg pretty close to Brownsville actually just on opposite sides of I-5. It was another well organized, friendly small town race. 

It was a. busy race month. A good way to get right into the running community.
