I will be at The Allison Resort in Newberg, OR over the weekend of October 11-12. My husband will be attending seminars and meetings much of the time so wondering if there are any races near there this particular weekend? If not, does anyone live around that area that may have a running group, recommendations for a place to swim, or a bike rental company. I'd love to get in a nice, scenic run and maybe a bike ride if possible. May even look into fitness centers so I can swim, but according to the hotel staff there is not much around there at all? Thoughts? Anything that is a MUST DO?

That is the week after Portland Marathon, so you will have trouble finding a lot of races that weekend. There is a women's HM (and quarter marathon) in Vancouver: http://www.active.com/vancouver-wa/running/races/girlfriends-run-fo...

There are likely scattered 10k's around, but none that I know of. I just moved to the area, so you would have as much luck googling as me!

If you get a bike, there is a great hill just north out of Newberg. You can either go straight to the top to Chehalem or veer left to Bald Peak.

As for running groups, check out meetup. There are several groups on there. If you like trail running, there is a group that runs forest park every weekend, either the NW PDX Trail Runners or Portland Trail Runners.
