FOOD DRIVE NOV + UPPER MacLeay Park to Wild Cherry (Trail Run in Forest Park)

Run info below, but FIRST:
Join us for FOOD DRIVE NOVEMBER: This November, Northwest Trail Runners is hosting a Food Drive to support Sunshine Division and help fight food insecurity in our community.

Throughout the month, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations at our Tuesday and Saturday runs. Look for the donation barrel (provided by the Sunshine Division) at each run — every item makes a difference! Requested items include:

• Canned meats
• Peanut butter
• Boxed dinners
• Canned vegetables & fruits
• Canned beans
• Pasta sauce

Monetary donations are also welcome — checks payable to Sunshine Division.

Let’s come together on the trails and offer to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Learn more about the Sunshine Division’s impact at sunshinedivision.org

Distance: 5 miles
Gain: 800 ft
Start: UPPER Macleay Park
After: Pizza Thief - NW Vaughn

For this trail run we will start at UPPER MacLeay trailhead. This is the spot where Wildwood crosses over Cornell Road. We'll meet at the parking lot there and then have an easy warmup down to the stone house, continuing on Wildwood to our turn around spot at Wild Cherry. On our way back we'll take a detour up Birch, over to and DOWN Holman (therefore "Holman heaven" instead of the opposite!), then back on Wildwood to the start.

• Turn back on Wildwood to Birch | .4 miles
• Right on Birch | .3 miles

Afterwards, we’ll head over to Pizza Thief (2610 NW Vaughn St, Portland) for the post-run fuel up.
