Firelane 15: Love it or Hate it

Swap roses for roots and spend the morning on a trail date that’s equal parts sweet and spicy. We’ll roll out on Firelane 15, settling in before turning right onto Wildwood. From there, we’ll cruise along WW all the way to BPA Road—and that’s where the real love story begins.

We’ll head UP BPA for a leg‑burning climb (aka "the warm-up"), then turn around and fly down BPA to the FL12 intersection. We’ll hang a left on FL12 and follow it until it reconnects with (you guessed it) FL15. Then we’ll seal the deal with the final climb back to the start.

Stats: 4.8 miles | 912' elevation gain
Don’t be deceived by the mileage… this one brings a lot feelings
(If you really LOVE this, you can double it for 9.6miles! .... looking at you, Nikolay)

What to bring

• Coffee cup/travel mug
• Something warm to wear post-run
• GRIPPY shoes; if it's been raining, it will be slick and muddy

After the run
As always, we will bring post-run coffee. If you have a valentine you want to share, great! Or if you'd like, you can Venmo a couple bucks to the coffee fund (@JeffMonaghanPDX), but there's absolutely no expectation for you to bring anything other than yourself, nor is there any expectation for contributions - just come run with us!

See you there, lovelies!
