Team Red Lizard (TRL) is a non-profit running club based in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. But running isn’t all we do. Our members have been known to get together for other activities such as mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, adventure racing, bicycle racing, and Ironman competitions.
