Lace up your trail shoes for the Portland Trail Series - Summer on July 29, 2026, a beloved "low-key" event held in the expansive beauty of Forest Park in Portland, OR. Offering challenging distances of 6M and 4M, this race is part of a "super-cool" five-race series that navigates the winding, hilly trails and majestic forests of one of the country's largest urban forest reserves. You'll experience 100% unpaved trails, immersing yourself in the fresh air and lush greenery that defines this iconic Portland park.

Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 84°F and lows around 60°F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a summer evening trail run. The races, starting at 6:15 PM with bib pickup from 5:30-6:00 PM, begin and end 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. Expect well-marked courses and supportive volunteers, hallmarks of events produced by Go Beyond Racing. The Portland Trail Series not only offers a fantastic running experience but also benefits the Forest Park Conservancy, contributing to the preservation of these cherished trails.
