LATEST RUNNING TOURS
If you still wanna run, even though you don’t have a guide, please visit our good friends at Great Runs. These are the three tours that we recommend:
• Willamette River/Esplanade Loop
• Willamette River: South Waterfront Trail
• Terwilliger Boulevard
Portland offers a unique blend of urban exploration and nature immersion for runners. Start your day with a run along the Willamette River Greenway, a scenic path that winds through the heart of the city. Feel the cool morning air as you weave past historic bridges and vibrant murals adorning the riverbank walls. Watch playful kayakers skim across the water and spot local wildlife like blue herons fishing for breakfast. Finish your run at the iconic Steel Bridge, a symbol of Portland’s industrial past, and reward yourself with a delicious breakfast at a nearby farmers market, sampling fresh produce and artisanal treats.
Venture beyond the downtown core and discover Portland’s hidden running havens. Forest Park, a sprawling urban wilderness, offers a network of trails catering to all levels. Challenge yourself with a heart-pumping climb to Pittock Mansion, a historic landmark perched on a hill, and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and Mount Hood. Explore hidden waterfalls nestled amongst the lush greenery and savor the tranquility of nature’s embrace. After your run, refuel at a quirky cafe in Alberta Arts District, a neighborhood bursting with colorful street art and independent shops.
Lace up your shoes for a run that winds through the heart of Portland’s vibrant culture. Start your route at Powell’s City of Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore, and imagine yourself getting lost in a literary adventure. Continue down Burnside Street, a hub for counterculture and creativity, and admire the artistic flair displayed on the walls of local breweries and vintage shops. Take a detour through the Saturday Market, a haven for handcrafted goods and street performers, and soak in the city’s unique energy. End your run at a local food cart pod, Portland’s iconic culinary scene, and savor a delicious and diverse lunch before heading back to your starting point. This run offers a taste of Portland’s spirit, from its love of books to its artistic rebellion and celebrated food scene.
