Rip City Runners
A resource for all Portland-based run clubs
Rip City Runners
We acknowledge that the land on which we run is the seized territory of the Cowlitz & Clackamas tribes. As you spend your time on roads and trails, we ask you to think about the names of the places, and how the contemporary names represent colonial history with no reference to the Indigenous heritage of the land. As runners, it is our responsibility to help change this.
We recognize the positive impact that physical fitness can have on mental health. Therefore, we encourage all running clubs in Portland to make intentional efforts to foster spaces of inclusion and belonging, especially for individuals who come from marginalized communities.
