Location/Parking:
This event is at Henry Hagg Lake in Scoggins Valley Park, approximately 6 miles south of Forest Grove on Highway 47. The start/finish is at Bobcat Cove; parking is at C-Ramp. (They are a 5-minute walk apart.) DO NOT STOP at the fee booth at the entrance to the lake, as the park day use fee is included in the entry fee. As you enter the parking area near C-Ramp you will be given a permit to put on your dashboard. Park where the volunteers instruct you.
Course Descriptions:
The 5K run/walk and 10K run/walk are out and back (counter-clockwise, then clockwise), starting and finishing at Bobcat Cove. The 10.5 mile run/walk is once around the lake going counter-clockwise, starting and finishing at Bobcat Cove. Participants should stay in the bike lane, except when the 5K and 10K cross the road at the turn-around and at the finish. Flaggers will be provided. The Kid's Run is a quarter mile loop on pavement and trail at Bobcat Cove.
Aid Stations:
There will be four aid stations on the course. The 10K goes past the first station twice at miles 2.4 and 4.2, and the 10.5 mile passes all four at Miles 2.4, 3.5, 6 and 8. Aid stations will have water, Gatorade, Gu, sweet and salty snacks. Paper cups will be provided, but we encourage participants to carry their own cup or hydration system. There will be sweepers on the course to assist runners as needed. There are first aid kits at each aid station. There will be a portapotty at Mile 6 and there are several vault toilets in picnic areas around the lake. The 5K does not pass any of the aid stations.
Awards:
Trophies to the overall male, female and non-binary winners in the 5K, 10K, and 10.5 Mile, in both running and walking divisions. The top five finishers in each five-year age group will earn ribbons. Awards will not be mailed. The awards ceremonies and pie raffle drawings for the 5K/10K will be at about 10:00am and for the 10.5 Mile at about 11:00am. Finisher medals to those in the 10.5 mile only.
Raffles:
There will be two raffles. The first is a raffle for pies along with the awards ceremonies. The second is an Everybody Wins Raffle. When you check-in you'll get your bib. At any time before or after you run/walk, go to the Everybody Wins Raffle table and select a prize. We'll have shirts, hats, socks, drinking glasses and more. Show your selected prize to a volunteer at the table so they can draw an "X" on your bib. One prize per person. Shirts will not be sold this year but will be available in the Everybody Wins Raffle.
Pay It Forward Fund:
ORRC strives to promote inclusivity and fairness for all participants. Our Pay It Forward Fund (PIFF) assists those with financial difficulties paying for race fees. Contact this event’s race director about discounted race entries.
Eco-Friendly:
ORRC strives to be eco-friendly. We will reduce, reuse, recycle and compost as much as possible on the road and at post-race events. We will provide paper cups at aid stations, but we encourage participants to bring their own hydration system—packs, handhelds, silicone cups, etc.—to reduce waste on the course. ORRC offers free reusable cups at its events.
My First Run:
ORRC wants to celebrate your firsts—“My First 10K”, “My First 5K”. On race day we’ll provide you with custom bibs so others can see your goal and encourage you along the way.
Transgender and Nonbinary Entrant Policy:
Transgender women can register to compete a) in the female category if athletes have undergone medically supervised hormone treatment for at least one year prior to the race or b) in the male category with no restrictions. Transgender men can register to compete a) in the male category if athletes have undergone medically supervised hormone treatment for at least one year prior to the race or b) in the female category with no restrictions. During registration, all entrants can select their gender category – male, female, or nonbinary. Entrants who choose nonbinary will have their own division, results, and awards. The gender and category that a runner selects during registration will be accepted as is. As such, no challenges to a runner's gender or category will be allowed or tolerated.
Red Caboose Award:
The last person to cross the finish line will earn a Red Caboose award.
Refunds:
ORRC does not offer refunds, but your entry may be transferred to another ORRC event.
Walking Policy:
The 5K, 10K and 10.5 miler have a separate walking category with awards for walkers. If you are registered as a walker, the expectation is that you will walk the entire time (i.e. one foot on the ground at all times). If you plan to run any portion of any walking event, then you should register as a runner. Please understand that that this is not a judged race walking event, so we expect walkers to police themselves. We ask that walkers start toward the back of the pack so as to not impede the runners, and to not walk more than two abreast on the course so that runners and traffic can pass safely.
Share the Road:
Be aware that most of the road is not closed to traffic. Runners, walkers, and bicyclists will also be on the road and in the bike lane. Therefore, always stay in the bike lane (no tangents), only two abreast, to allow others to pass. Be courteous of others, giving a heads-up (“Runner on your left”) as you pass someone slower. You don’t own the road; you share it.
Headphone Policy:
The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at this race. To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, ORRC encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of the event. If you choose to wear a device, be sure that it isn't so loud that you can't hear traffic or other runners.
Strollers/Dogs/Age Limit:
Strollers, baby joggers or similar devices are permitted, but should start in the back of the pack. Only service dogs are permitted and they must be trained to run in crowds. We discourage anyone younger than 14 to run the 10.5 mile distance.
Volunteers and Questions:
For more information or to volunteer, please email Race Director Mark Barrett ([email protected]) or call him at 503-821-9577. Volunteers at ORRC races get a $50 credit for a future ORRC race. ORRC also makes donations to groups that provide volunteers.
