ORRC’s Dual Duel Turns 50

Dual Duel
In the Dual Duel runners within a team run a single lap, then pass the baton to the next runner, until 40 laps total are completed. In a 2-person team, each runner rests while their partner completes a lap, then runs the next lap as their partner rests.

It has been four long years since we held the ORRC Dual Duel on a track in a traditional venue. On Sunday, October 15th at 10:00 AM, we plan to do exactly that. For its Golden Anniversary Edition we will also bring back our favorite venue, Catlin Gabel School, and our longtime Race Director, Daniel Brewer.

  • At 9:00 AM we will begin a new event, the ORRC Track Stride.
    • This will be a 5k walk on the track.
    • We will pose a 50-55 minute time limit, calling for the last lap at 50 minutes.
    • Traditionally, the Dual Duel has not been particularly conducive to a walk, however this year we will block off the inside four lanes so that our walkers can have full access to the track during this event.
    • Runners for the Dual Duel will be required to warm up on the outer lanes.
  • At 10:00 AM we will host the 50th edition of Oregon’s longest running race, the ORRC Dual Duel.
    • This is a 10-mile (40-lap) event with each runner running alternate quarter-mile legs. (20-each total for 5-miles each).
    • Runners will run in combined age groups in one of three running events (Men, Women, and Mixed).
    • As a bonus we are adding a special event, The Quad Relay, which will allow a team of 4 runners to compete (it is still 40 laps with each runner running 10-laps in rotating fashion for 2.5 miles each).
      • This event will have Open categories only.
        • Men’s (any gender makeup)
        • Women’s (all four runners are female)
        • Mixed (at least two female runners).
    • There will also be three Open Dual Race Walker Categories. (Mens, Women, and Mixed) which will be judged.
    • No Partner, No Problem. We will also hold a Solo Track 10k (25-laps).
    • Awards will be in Traditional ORRC 5-year age groups (we will clear lane one in the exchange zone to allow solo runners to avoid the chaos of the exchange zone, particularly in the early going.)
  • At 9:55 AM we will have a FREE open 400-meter kids run.

Yes, there will be a lot going on on October 15th, but I hope that in the light of a tough last few years, you will want to join us as ORRC celebrates 50-plus years of running. By the way, the T-shirt is one you will want as a part of your collection. Please sign up online and stay tuned to that site for updates. We will see you on October 15th.

ORRC Listening Session

Hooray for the weekend!

As many of you know, ORRC is in need of making some changes. Through a combination of the pandemic and evolution of time, we realize it’s time to do things differently.

As a member of ORRC, we’d love to hear directly from you. We’re planning at least one virtual listening session on Wednesday May 10th from 7pm to 8pm. During the session, you will have an open mic to talk about your ideas for the direction of the club. The session(s) will be recorded so the ideas can be collated and sent out in a future email.

If you are an ORRC member and would like to provide feedback at the ORRC Listening Session, please contact me at and I’ll assign you a time slot along with details about the meeting.

Thank you,

Chris Knaff
