Southern Oregon Runners

Southern Oregon Runners Southern Oregon Runners is Oregon's First Running Club since 1969! We hope to promote running in Southern Oregon and the Rogue Valley! Come on out and join us!

Oregon’s first running club has been an integral part of the running scene since 1969 when it was formed to promote health and fitness. The club was named the Southern Oregon Sizzlers until 2007. With hundreds of members, this non-for-profit organization holds more than 15 races each year in the Southern Oregon area. The original colors that still exist are red, white, & blue - a celebration of th

e respect for diversity and freedom of our nation. These colors have been worn proudly in events spanning our nation, including the U.S. Olympic Trials.The first race organized by the club was a Fourth of July, 10 miler in Eagle Point. We were born, on Independence Day. Two other events were established early on and continue to be, two of the oldest road races in Oregon: Stage Coach and Pioneer. Pioneer is the only event held on the original course since it’s initial running in 1971. Over the years, the club has provided many races and fun runs, including two national championships, a Master’s 25 km & a Master’s Marathon.Members receive monthly newsletters from the club and the national organization, Road Runners Club of America. They also receive discounts on races and merchandise from several local running stores. The main benefit is that of belonging to a community oriented organization while pursuing one’s hobby of running/walking. The camaraderie which the club founders sought still abounds among Southern Oregon Runners. This page will update our club events and information. If you would like to put up your own information head on over to our public group page for event postings, run group information and discussions.

We had an A frame "run" off this weekend at the Shamrock Run 5 Mile. It was last seen serving as the 5 mile turn around sign. We are hoping someone picked it up thinking we forgot it and not that it was taken. Please let us know if you happen to spot it somewhere in Central Point. Thanks for keeping an eye out!
