2026 Hippie Chick Training Club

Embark on your journey to half marathon success with the 2026 Hippie Chick Training Club, kicking off on February 21, 2026, in Beaverton, OR. This inclusive and supportive program is your ideal starting line, designed to guide runners and walkers of all abilities toward completing a half marathon. As you begin your training, expect typical race day conditions around 54°F for a high and 40°F for a low, with a 19% chance of precipitation, providing cool and often clear weather for your early training sessions.

The 11-week training club, primarily based out of Portland Running Company in Beaverton, offers a comprehensive package including expert coaching, valuable store discounts, insightful seminars, and a structured training plan. This program specifically prepares participants for the Hippie Chick Half Marathon, which takes place on May 9, 2026, at the scenic Champoeg State Park in St. Paul, Oregon. While historically known as Oregon's original all-women's race, the Hippie Chick Half Marathon is now open to all genders, maintaining its reputation for a flat and scenic course primarily on bike paths and park roads, featuring gentle rolling hills and ample hydration stations stocked with water, sports drinks, and energy gels.

Organized by the well-regarded Runwithpaula Events, the Hippie Chick experience, from training to race day, is celebrated for its strong community spirit and vibrant atmosphere. Runners consistently praise the encouraging volunteers, clear course markings, and festive post-race celebrations, which often include a beer garden and food. Join the 2026 Hippie Chick Training Club to build accountability, make new friends, and confidently cross the finish line of your next half marathon, all while embracing the groovy, supportive vibe that defines this cherished Oregon running tradition.
