PRC Winter 5K Series

NEVER LET WINTER WIN!

Keep those wheels turning and the fire burning all winter long when you join in our seasonal 5K series. This low-key, high-yield trio of races gives you the chance to test your training, improve your times, and compete with yourself. Race in December and then focus on your 5K improvement. Train hard, do some speed work, try some hill repeats, or add some miles to your weekly load. Then come back in January and do it again. Your progress might surprise you! Race. Train. Repeat! Whether you are training for a PR or just looking for a great avenue to set some goals for 2023, The Winter 5K Race Series is the ideal platform.

WINTER GIVES US ALL A BREAK! (Feb. ’24)

In a graceful twist of fate, the February edition of the PRC Winter 5K Race Series went off without so much as a raindrop. The breeze was low. The air was clean. The temps were moderate. It was a great day for a race. The day was simply beautiful. Congratulations to everyone. See you next month at The Tualatin River Run 5K.

2021-2022 Race Recap

WINTER RACE #1 (Winter Gave Its Best Shot)

Winter gave us its best shot and we still managed to prevail. A little cold? No biggie. A little rain? Fear not. A little Wind Advisory? How about all three? Through the blinding elements, we witnessed enthusiasm, joy, a bunch of super soaked smiles (and a few soaked laptops), and some seriously happy feet and we are ready for more! Race #1 is in the books. Results are posted. 

Age Group Winners: First place in each age group wins a shiny blue ribbon and a $10 PRC Gift Card. 2nd and 3rd place also receive beautiful ribbons. If you did not get your award today, let us know and we will hold it for you at one of the PRC shops or mail it directly to you. See you all next month.

WINTER RACE #2 : Winter Apologizes!

After flexing its muscles in December, Winter took a little break for us in January. The temps were still brisk, but wind and rain were on vacation for the Janaury edition of the series. Race #2 is in the books. How many of you PR’d? Now it’s time to train hard, pound the pavement, tweak the weeks, and come back in February for the season finale. See you next month.

Age Group Winners: First place in each age group wins a shiny blue ribbon and a $10 PRC Gift Card. 2nd and 3rd place also receive beautiful ribbons. If you did not get your award for January, let us know and we will hold it for you at one of the PRC shops or mail it directly to you.

WINTER RACE #3: Winter Takes A Vacation!

For Race #3, Winter headed south (we guess) yielding to blue skies, warm temps, and a whole lotta’ smiles. Congratulations to all 5K racers!

Age Group Winners: First place in each age group wins a shiny blue ribbon and a $10 PRC Gift Card. 2nd and 3rd place also receive beautiful ribbons. If you did not get your award for January, let us know and we will hold it for you at one of the PRC shops or mail it directly to you.
