Summer Solstice SunRISE Run with Territory Run Co

Distance: 5 miles
Gain: 900 feet
Start: Lower Macleay Park
After: Coffee at the trailhead! Bring your own mug if possible.

Our friends at Territory Run Co have begun their sunrise run series again! Their June run just happens to be on the summer solstice so we are jumping on board to start our summer solstice celebration. We'll be running up to Pittock Mansion to watch the sun rise and there will be a special treat – coffee from Proud Mary Coffee – waiting for us when we are done (compliments of Territory Run Co and Proud Mary!).
