About us
Portland Trail Runners has been bringing runners together for 15+ years; the original trail running group in PDX. We meet every Saturday morning to explore the city’s best trails — like Forest Park, Tryon Creek, Marquam and more! Weekday runs are also sprinkled in the mix.
Our runs are typically 5–7 miles, with shorter options available (3-4 miles). All paces and experience levels are welcome!
We hang out after at the trailhead for coffee and conversation — bring a mug and join us!
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re here to cruise, push the pace, or just enjoy the dirt.
