The Best Dam Run course is lovely! Mostly on private closed road, it features views of the Clackamas River, cool forests, interesting geology and (if you’re lucky) bald eagles and osprey. The 10K is a speedy, net downhill point-to-point course, same as prior years. The new half marathon course is a Z-fold course — it starts out with the 10K, then at 3.45 miles, heads back towards the start, then turns around yet again to finish at the same finish line as the 10K, Broadway Street in downtown Estacada.

Special Notices for 2024
- ORRC is “eco-friendly.” We listened to prior concerns: In order to best support our participants, we provide paper cups at aid stations with water and Gatorade. And, we also encourage those who are willing to bring your own hydration, or reusable/refillable cup or bottle, to save on disposable cups. Read about our eco-friendly policy.
Swag
- All finishers will receive a pair of custom Fitsock Best Dam Run socks. Due to supply issues, there will not be new finisher medals this year. There are medals from 2021 and 2022 available if you’d like one. Supplies are limited.
Registration
You may sign up for multiple events. Note the tentative schedule below to help you plan accordingly. Volunteers are welcome and most appreciated. Learn more about volunteering for ORRC. Sign up to run or to volunteer at RunSignUp. Our various volunteer shifts are posted there.
Volunteering
We need volunteers. You, a friend, or family can all sign up to volunteer! Even event participants (walkers and runners) can volunteer, as there are shifts before the event and after, for set up and take-down of the event, too. As a thank you, every volunteer receives a code for $50 off a future ORRC event (good for 1 year).
