Hooray for the weekend!
As many of you know, ORRC is in need of making some changes. Through a combination of the pandemic and evolution of time, we realize it’s time to do things differently.
As a member of ORRC, we’d love to hear directly from you. We’re planning at least one virtual listening session on Wednesday May 10th from 7pm to 8pm. During the session, you will have an open mic to talk about your ideas for the direction of the club. The session(s) will be recorded so the ideas can be collated and sent out in a future email.
If you are an ORRC member and would like to provide feedback at the ORRC Listening Session, please contact me at raceoperations@oregonroadrunnersclub.org and I’ll assign you a time slot along with details about the meeting.
Thank you,
Chris Knaff

Thank you to our membership and those registering to our running events for your continued support. Like you, we all want to return to running classic ORRC events. ORRC is unable to host any group running events until our communities qualify for COVID-19 increased group size guidelines and we are able to safely provide COVID-19 participant protection.
Watch for our monthly newsletter, Facebook, ODR and our website listing new virtual events while we navigate these uncharted waters.
Due to orders of the governor of Oregon to prohibit public gatherings due to the outbreak of COVID-19, ORRC has canceled its events in June and July 2020. These include the Summer Solstice 5K at the Oregon Zoo and our “5 on the 4th” 5K event on July 4th. Further event updates will be posted.
