Half Marathon Course & 5K Course Descriptions

One of the most scenic runs ever! The course winds it's way through the Hayden Bridge neighborhood, before heading out onto Old Mohawk Road, McKenzie View Drive, and then a glorious finish in Armitage Park. The first five miles are mostly flat, the middle six miles are gently rolling, and the final two miles are completely flat along Coburg Road and through Armitage Park. There are many spectacular views of the McKenzie River along the way. The course will be open to traffic - please use caution. Participants must stay on the right side of the road (with traffic) until they approach Marcola Road, and will then be directed onto the left side of the road (against traffic) for the remainder of the event. Elevation profile shown.

The 5K is truly a XC style hybrid road & trail course that winds along grassy areas, bike paths and meadows; with a wooded quarter mile nature trail section. This course loop is ran twice to complete the 5K distance.

Aid Stations & More

There will be multiple aid stations along the half course and one portable toilet just past the 5 mile mark. Aid stations will be stocked with water, GU Brew Electrolyte Beverage and GU Energy Gel; likely to be self serve. Please dispose of any trash responsibly.

Time Limit/Dogs: The course limit for the half marathon event is 4 hours. NO DOGS allowed due to the narrow shoulder & traffic on McKenzie View and the majority of the half marathon course.
