The Portland Roses were formed out of a desire to provide a scattered system of highly talented local women with a more cohesive and supportive training and racing environment. The group is composed of women who love to sweat, work hard, and enjoy life amongst friends; who not only happen to be badass runners, but hold solid careers, display super-mom skills, and even tout beer drinking accolades. Leaning on each other, enjoying the experience and proving to ourselves every day how strong we really are – that’s that Portland Rose life.
