Our Story

Founded in Portland's vibrant trail running community

Founded in Portland in 2024, Tierra Libre Run started as a small run club among friends seeking more representation on the trails. Thanks to the encouragement and mentorship of Footprints Camp, we've been inspired to dream bigger—transforming from a local group to a community aspiring to make a meaningful impact in the trail running space.

We’re grateful to Footprints for their support as we work to create more inclusive outdoor experiences.
