Race Information

Formerly the ORRC Y2K Run, now Ralph’s Run in honor of longtime ORRC member Ralph Brown, this event moves back to its original premise of a changing distance every year.

Starting in 1986 as an 8.6K in ’86, it will be 20.24K in 2024, and so on. You get a new PR every year! It also features a 10K run/walk, a 5K run/walk, and a kid’s run. Kick off your New Year with a run in pastoral Washington County. Afterward, enjoy an indoor pancake breakfast with friends and family.

The Oregon Road Runners Club is the West Coast's largest and oldest Oregon running club. Founded in 1978, they host 15 annual running events as well as training programs.

Run Pick of the Month - Astoria Run on the River

 Get a unique locally made, stamped glass finisher medal on May 11, 2024.

 Run on the River is Astoria's premier half marathon, 10k, and 5k. You can expect for take in beautiful views of the Columbia River on the fast, and flat course along the Astoria river walk.

Couple more things that we think make this run worth checking out; all finishers earn a hand blown glass medal from Fern Hill Glass Studio, and, the race finishes up at the Buoy Beer lager festival (craft beer and food carts!).
