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 Oregon's oldest running club. Founded in 1978, they host 15 annual running events as well as training programs.
