Greenway Trail Trial – 5K and 10K

Enjoy summer’s last holiday on Washington County’s Fanno Creek Trail. This is a 5K or 10K (or both) out and back course thru scenic natural areas and wetlands popular among runners, walkers, hawks, and herons.

Event Information

This is a 10k and 5k race that will be run “Time Trial Style” on the Fanno Creek Regional Trail. The race is chip-timed by Huber Timing. Participants can sign up for the 10k, 5k, or both races.

10k: You’ll need to be at Greenway Park and crossing the start line between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. No 10k participants will be allowed to start after 8:30 a.m.

5k: You can start any time between 7 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. The start line will close exactly at 9:30 a.m.

The course for both 10k and 5k participants will close at 11 a.m., a full 90 minutes after the last 5k participant start time.

ORRC members can sign up for the 10k for $25, for the 5k for $20, and for both races for $35. Non-ORRC members can sign up for the 10k for $35, for the 5k for $30, and for both races for $45. Goodr brand sunglasses are available for $15 while supplies last. Participants that are age 18 or younger, contact us for a discount code to make your registration $15 for the 10k and $10 for the 5k.

Day of race registration will be $40 for the 10k and $30 for the 5k. The double will be $50 day of race. No ORRC discount is available day of race.

Overall awards will be mailed to the top three men and top three women in each of these categories: Open 10k Run, Open 10k Walk, Master’s 10k Run, Master’s 10k Walk, Open 5k Run, Open 5k Walk, Master’s 5k Run, and Master’s 5k Walk. There is no “double-dipping” which means if a master’s athlete places top three in the open category, they will be named as an Open winner and removed from Master’s awards.

We still need a number of volunteers for this race on Labor Day. It is easy to volunteer and run or walk this event – if you sign up to volunteer and plan to compete, the race directors will secure a start time that works with your volunteer shift.
