Marquam Trail

New Route for March Marquam Trail to Council Crest

We're getting out of Forest Park. Come check out the Marquam Trail. The start is at a shelter at the Marquam Nature Park near OHSU, just northwest of Duniway Park/Track and the Metro YMCA. We'll run up to Council Crest for some nice city views and then back on some different trails to the shelter. Distance is a little over 4 miles. We'll probably run for around an hour. http://www.ohsu.edu/greenteam/mnp_trail_map.pdf for a map of the trails and trailhead. You can Google Maps "SW Marquam St" for directions to get there.

If you've never done trail running at night, it's a great chance to practice for 24-hr races or just to fit in a workout if your days are too busy. Night time trail running builds excellent running skills by forcing you to pay attention and react quickly.

Mandatory gear:
  • good night light (headlamp preferred)
  • hydration appropriate for time and effort
  • technical clothing appropriate to the weather conditions

    Some other items you may want to bring; snack, trail running shoes, gloves (it can be MUDDY!!), towel and dry clothes to change into at the end.

    As always, PLEASE RSVP for training so that we know how many to expect. If no one RSVPs, we may not show ourselves!
