A clear sunny and brisk cold morning didn’t stop over 400 runners and walkers from participating in our club’s first race of 2016. Even with the cold, we were very fortunate to miss the snow the next day. We want to thank everyone that joined us at our event.

The event was timed by Timing by Zornick. Links to the results are on the Y2K Results and Photos page.

A direct link to the Y2K Photos from the event are free for personal use of participants as benefit of the event.

We would like to thank the City of Forest Grove, the Forest Grove Police Department, The Forest Grove High School Cross Country Team, The Meals on Wheels Folks and Liberty Fit for supporting our event.

2016 ORRC 5K Series Suspended

November 19, 2015

ORRC’s Board of Directors accepted the recommendation of our 5K Series director to suspend the ORRC 5K Series in 2016 as we focus our attention and efforts on the club’s budget and other program areas. While we greatly appreciate the participation of 5K series members, overall club interest in the 5K series was low. We are exploring ways to generate more support and enthusiasm for the 5K series and hope to bring it back in the future.
