Run Pacifica is a unique running group that offers enjoyable and free running events across routes not typically found in the Northwest. The gatherings start at Brooklyn Park in Southeast Portland, conveniently close to public transit and amenities for runners before and after the event. The course presents a balanced mix of roads, car-free paths, and dirt/gravel trails as it traverses all six quadrants of Portland. Runners will explore Oaks Bottom, the Springwater Corridor, and the scenic Sellwood Bridge before heading into Forest Park, following the well-maintained Leif Eriksen Drive. Participants will tackle a few challenging sections, particularly the Ridge Trail near St. John's Bridge. This unsupported run offers no aid stations, so preparation is key, especially during the longest leg without refreshments in Forest Park.
