The Evening Trail Series – Fall Edition offers an exhilarating journey through Portland's enchanting Forest Park. Spanning five Wednesday evenings from late September into early October, this series presents runners with diverse and challenging courses that range between 4 to 7 miles each. Highlights include a few races held under the canopy of night, requiring participants to bring their headlamps. Each race concludes with a vibrant post-race celebration at Lucky Labrador brewpub where overall and age group awards are presented along with an exciting raffle filled with prizes from generous sponsors. The Forest Park Conservancy benefits from this event, ensuring your efforts contribute positively to the local environment. Race dates: September 2, September 16, September 30, October 14, and October 28. Register for a single race at $25 until capacity is reached or sign up for all five races online.
