Garlic Festival – Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

Location: Jessie Mays Community Center, North Plains, OR

Date: Saturday, August 08, 2020

Time: 7:00 am to 8:00 am

Oregon Road Runners Club (ORRC) has cancelled this year’s Garlic Festival race events, scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2020, due to COVID-19 guidelines and concerns.
Missing the feeling of a race day. Consider running one of ORRC’s two virtual offerings, Run The Oregon Coast  (registration open till July 15) and the The 60 Minute Challenge Series – four races, with individual race registration dates.
 
We look forward to the day when we again host Garlic Festival 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. And we will be there to welcome you once more. 

Celebrate the North Plain’s Elephant Garlic Festival with a half marathon, 10K or 5K run/walk around the city and Washington County scenic roads. Stinky fun for the whole family. The annual Garlic Festival features a parade, live music and garlic-themed food and craft vendors to explore following our half marathon, 10K, and 5K events. Experience the rural beauty of the North Plains as you run on quiet farm roads.

After the race enjoy elephant garlic, custom-made event Fitsok socks, one free beer, and all that the festival art and food the vendors have to offer!

ORRC members receive $10 off their registration if preregistered. You’ll also have the opportunity to sign up for ORRC membership during the registration process and receive $10 off your registration.

Registration prices bump up on May 11, July 11th and again on the day of the event.
