Welcome to the Slurpee-Fueled Suffering

Ever looked at a 7-Eleven roller grill and thought, "I could run 100 miles on those taquitos"? No? Just us?

The 24/7Eleven is not your standard trail ultra. There are no sweeping alpine vistas or pristine singletrack here. This is an urban scavenger hunt through the heart of Clark County. Your mission is simple but soul-crushing: Visit as many 7-Eleven locations in the county as possible within a 24-hour window.

The Rules of the Road

• The Clock: You have 24 hours. Start at Foot Traffic, finish at Foot Traffic, but the clock doesn't stop for brain freezes.

• The Proof: Every "Summit" (store visit) must be documented with a geo-tagged photo of you and the store frontage.

• The Fuel: This is the kicker. You are strictly prohibited from consuming any calories not purchased inside a 7-Eleven during the event. If it didn’t come off a roller, out of a fountain, or from a crinkly plastic bag, it’s a DNF.

• The Route: Total "Choose Your Own Adventure." Map it out, bridge the gaps, and try to avoid the Vancouver traffic.

Why Do This?

Because the Vantucky Trailrunners believe that "adventure" is a mindset. Whether we’re hitting the mud at Whipple Creek or hitting the pavement on Fourth Plain, we do it with heart, humor, and a questionable amount of processed sodium.

PDX Recovers is more than a 5K. It’s a chance to heal together. In a city known as Bridge City, this race connects running with recovery, neighbors with neighbors, and hope with action. It’s not just a fundraiser. It’s a movement—people training, walking, running, and rebuilding their lives together.

This event is hosted by Union Gospel Mission of Portland, an organization that has served people experiencing homelessness, hunger, addiction, and abuse in the Portland community for nearly 100 years.

Through programs that provide meals, showers, shelter, outreach and long-term recovery for men, women, and children, Union Gospel Mission Union Gospel Mission offers life-changing pathways toward stability and hope. Proceeds from the race will help support these programs and the individuals and families working to rebuild their lives.

Once online registration has closed, walk-up registration at packet pickup and on race day will still be available.
