We are just days into 2013 and we have some fantastic news to share with you.  Race dates have been set for the 2013 $5 5k Series!  We are so thankful to the over 2,000 runners and walkers that came out last year to make our first racing season so successful and we are super excited for what 2013 will bring.

You’ll notice that we have a couple of new courses this year at Fernhill and Laurelhurst Park, as well as some favorites from last year at Lents, Gabriel, Westmoreland, and Pier Parks.  We tried to space the races equitably throughout our parks system as well as preserve the uniqueness that each course offers.  Race dates include:
  • May 19 – Fernhill Park
  • June 9 – Lents Park
  • July 14 – Gabriel Park
  • August 11 – Laurelhurst Park
  • September 22 – Sellwood Park
  • October 20 – Pier Park
So, challenge your friends, family, or co-workers to finish a 5k race (or six!) with you this season and make 2013 your best year yet!  Registration is now available, see our registration page for details.

I would like to see a description of the course. Hilly, how hilly flat or how.

Lents is fairly flat with one small hill, Westmoreland is about the flattest course you will see on a 5k, Fernhill and Laurelhurst are right in the middle, Pier and Gabriel Park have more incline changes than the rest. Hope this helps! We'll get course maps and more thorough descriptions up on the website soon.

Hi Patti,
I just made a modification to the registration page on our website. Please click the registration link at the top of the page. Each of the races now has a unique link that takes you to the registration site. If you need additional assistance in any way, please let me know and thanks for the feedback.
