Holiday Dash 5K

Thanks to all our participants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made the 2019 Holiday Dash 5K such a success and so much fun! 

Each year, Portland Trails & Ri Ra Irish Pub team up for this Portland holiday tradition featuring local craft brews! Run the trails in your festive gear, and enjoy a hearty beer-brunch with some winter cheer. We will run (and brunch) through snow, shine, wind or sleet!
