PLEASE BE ADVISED:
We do not offer gear check at this event. We will not be storing personal belongings, and we ask that you leave them at home, in your vehicle or with a friend during your race.
Please try to carpool or walk from your hotel or home to reduce parking congestion. Arrive as early as possible to avoid any parking stress.
* This is NOT a closed course. Some portions may be closed but there may be other runners/walkers/bikers/dogs/strollers along the Riverwalk.
* Identifiable volunteers will be on hand to help direct pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the few crossings, particularly on the west end.
* Aid stations will be available along the entire half marathon course (which includes the 10K and 5K routes). The stations will offer water and snacks donated by our sponsors.
* Run with care! You will be running across trestles, uneven surfaces, and trolley tracks which can be slick especially when wet (and it "sometimes" rains in Astoria!). Please watch your footing at all times.
We will have a Kids Run starting shortly after the 5k start. Keep an eye out for the Kids Run volunteers, register and buy a Kids Run shirt at the registration table.
The 10K and Half Marathon prize ceremony will begin between 11:30/11:45 AM. We will wrap that up with the 5k winner results.
Volunteers will begin taking down the route barricades at Noon so the Trolley can roll through. Do not be discouraged if you come in after that! We will be cheering you on.
We are looking forward to a beautiful day for a race here in Astoria.
See you on Race Day!
