About us
Portland Trail Runners has been bringing runners together for 13+ 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.

Tryon to Marshall Park!
Iron Mountain Trail, Lake Oswego, OR, US**Join us for a 6.4-mile out-and-back trail run through scenic woods and quiet neighborhoods, loosely following Tryon Creek from Lake Oswego to Marshall Park in southwest Portland. This route includes a mix of singletrack, wider dirt trail, and a ~0.75-mile neighborhood segment, with several intersections along the way — so it’s helpful to review the route ahead of time.
All paces and experience levels are welcome!
