Courses run along lake and creek paths, the golf course, asphalt, some roads, and packed gravel or dirt. The half marathon course includes about nine miles of flat or gently rolling terrain, with steeper trails between roughly mile 4.5 and 6.5. The 15K turns back before the larger hills found on the half. The 10K is an out-and-back near Lacamas Creek and Lake. The 5K is a moderately flat loop through the creek and golf course.
Water and bathroom support varies by distance: the half and 15K have at least six water stations with water, electrolytes (Nuun), and energy gels and several bathroom stops; the 10K has at least two water stations and 2 to 3 bathroom stops; the 5K has one water station and a bathroom at about mile one. There is a 4.5 hour time limit for the half and the 15K.
Race registration items include a technical T shirt, custom bib, commemorative medal and champagne flute, brunch snacks, and mimosas for those 21 and over. Bib pick up is offered on multiple days in the week before the race at Foot Traffic locations in Sellwood, West, Northeast, and Vancouver. Parking at the venue is limited and nearby lots will be used. Strollers are allowed only on the 5K; dogs are not permitted on course. Virtual entries can race any distance remotely and receive event items, with a shipping option available for an additional fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
