Course Description
This Thanksgiving Day event consists of a 5K and 10K this year! It's a beautiful tour around the Ruth Bascom Trail network in the greater Alton Baker Park area; with a new course that crosses the river twice. REVISED 11/21/23. Many sections of the course are situated right next to the Willamette River with great views. Runners will finish at the same location they started . Minimal elevation gain for this course. Open to runners and walkers of all fitness levels. NO DOGS, due to the narrowness of the course and a short out and back section. Thank you for understanding.
Chip Timing
- This event will be chip timed, with a chip start and finish, for both the run distances
- Timing chips will be included on the BIB# pull-strip at packet pickup. DO NOT DETACH PRIOR TO FINISHING
- Participants that pickup packets (with timing chips) and don't participate on race day are requested to return their chip to the event organizers.
Thank You Partners, Beneficiaries & Volunteer Groups
