Race Information
This annual weekend celebration is a two-day event that features an opening kickoff movement market with a free kids' race and a full day of pre-packet pick-up activities.
The following day, a USATF-sanctioned event professionally timed 5K, 10K, and 15K is held through the neighborhoods of inner north Northeast Portland, a.k.a. the Soul District. The overall fastest male and female winners of the 5K, 10K, and 15K, plus two randomly selected finishers, will win prizes courtesy of the event sponsor.
