And just like that, two years of hosting a monthly sunrise run has come and gone. Today was the last one, at least for now. Thank you to everyone who came out to these over the last two years, it has been a blast getting to spend those sunrises and miles and coffees together! 🤗

Join us as we celebrate 2 years of doing this, and commemorating the last one, at least for now. You are obviously welcome to run up to Pittock for sunrise after this one, but there probably won't be coffee waiting for you at the bottom. Speaking of, as usual, there will be coffee and treats after the run.

St. Patrick's Day is on Sunday, but we will still start the weekend early with our Sunrise Run. If you joined last year, you know what that entails! We'll also be giving away a green bottle of Forest Gin from Freeland Spirits - with some of the botanicals foraged right from Forest Park!

I always say October and February are my favorite sunrises, and this one delivered! Thanks everyone for coming out, we'll see you next month on the 15th - right in between Pi day and St. Patrick's Day!
P.S. swipe to see some pretty funny lens distortion 😂

As the days get longer, the sunrise runs start getting ever so slightly earlier. These are the sweet spot months where it isn't too early to be ridiculous, and isn't too late if you have to make it to work. Come join us for a run up to Pittock and some coffee and treats after!

The rain let up just in time for today's run. There wasn't a sunrise, but there also wasn't any ice, so it's a win! Thanks everyone for coming out. Next month will be on February 23, see you then!

I originally had this month's run planned for the 19th, but I want to give the trail a little more time after this Big Chill to thaw and for trees to be cleared. So we are pushing to the last weekend this month! Hopefully we'll have some ok temperatures and clear trails to run on! Join us for coffee and treats following the run.

For the first time in over a year and a half, it rained on us for the sunrise run. Despite the heavy rain, it was still a cheer-filled morning with a great run and great company! Happy Holidays everyone!

Hopefully we catch a break from atmospheric rivers and get a nice sunrise. If not, stay cozy and warm on the way up in your best Ugly Holiday Sweater. Coffee and treats to follow back at the bottom.
