trails and courses

[D.L.A.]

I was wondering if it is possible to find cross country
running routes. I have only been runnning for about a year,
and would like to mix it up a little with fun trails. I live
in portland, O.R. We have great trails and parks, but I am
looking for trails that are easy to get to (runnning) from
the Metro area. Any answers will help. Thanks

you might also try the RW ultra/trail group. There's a
number of people there from PNW, and I believe some have run
in Portland, if not actually live there. But you might want
to clarify what you're looking for. From your post it sounds
like you have great trails in Portland, but wanted access
from the metro area - these sound one and the same to me.
Are you saying the trails you know of in Portland are
actually outside the city or....?
