Join us in celebrating the summer solstice with Dave’s Solstice Run 5K at Blue Lake. There will also be a free Kids fun run.
This event is named after Dave Green, a long-time ORRC member and volunteer. Dave was an active board member, joining in 1981, and becoming president in 1992.

Race director for multiple events, including the original Blue Lake Runs, Dave was also the “Treasurer Extraordinaire” and was instrumental in helping the club through some tough times financially in the past.
This event epitomizes Dave Green, and his love for low-key, family friendly events.
The Turkey Trot at the Zoo is great for the whole family. You can run or walk the 5 km course. You’ll start at The Oregon Zoo, then head out on Kingston Drive toward the International Rose Garden, then return to finish inside the zoo at the Elephant Plaza. We offer two Kids events, the Tot Trot, for those 0-4 years old, and the Gobble Gallop, for those 5 through 10 years old. Approximately $25,000 of registration fees benefit The Oregon Zoo.
