Champoeg – Marathon Relay, 30K, Half Marathon, 10K & Kids’ Run

Experience a unique combination of history, nature, and recreation on a Champoeg Park course through forests, fields, and wetlands. 10K/30K entrants complete one or multiple 10K loops. In 2019, we’re introducing a new event at Champoeg – a four-person marathon relay. Each person on your team runs 1/4 of a marathon distance – or one loop of our two-loop half marathon course. Get your group together for this new event and enjoy the wonderful surroundings at Champoeg State Park.
