Portland Trail Series - Spring

Lace up your trail shoes for the Portland Trail Series - Spring, a captivating and low-key running experience set in the heart of Portland, Oregon's iconic Forest Park. On June 3, 2026, immerse yourself in the lush green nature of the Pacific Northwest, tackling challenging courses of either 4 or 6 miles. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant highs around 72°F and lows around 53°F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal environment for hitting the hilly trails.

This particular event is the fifth and final race in the popular Spring series, part of a larger collection of five-race series held on Wednesday evenings from spring through fall. Runners will navigate winding trails surrounded by majestic forests and breathe in the fresh, invigorating air of Forest Park. Each race in the series, including this one, presents a different challenging course, ensuring a unique experience every time. The starting and finishing lines are consistently located at the junction of Leif Erikson and Wild Cherry Trail, a short walk from the gate at the base of Leif Erikson and NW Thurman.

The Portland Trail Series is celebrated for its community atmosphere and dedication to the trails, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Forest Park Conservancy. Those who participate in at least four races across a series are included in the overall standings and have the chance to earn fantastic gear from sponsors. The culmination of the Spring series promises a festive post-race party at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall, a perfect opportunity to celebrate achievements and connect with fellow trail enthusiasts. Get ready for a memorable evening of trail running amidst stunning scenery.
