by registering for The Dental Foundation of Oregon's inaugural
Floss & Run!
Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Rock Creek Country Club
5100 NW Neakahnie Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97229
You'll be on a professionally-rolled, gently challenging golf path in a peaceful and private setting under giant Douglas Firs.
Our timed races include:
*A 1K race for children 11 and under starting at 8:30 a.m.
*A 5K run open to runners of all abilities starting at 9:10 a.m.
*A 5K walk that begins at 9:40 a.m.; we'll start our stroller runners here at the front to ensure space for all on the figure-eight course.
All registered participants will receive a re-useable swag bag with a cool Tooth Taxi headband, dental- and health-related items, a raffle ticket for a chance to win prizes from our amazing local sponsors, and free entry into a putting contest!
Additional raffle tickets and putting contest entry may be purchased on site for $10.
Each finisher receives a medal and there are medals for the top three finishers in each age category.
Our host, the Rock Creek Country Club, has a bar and grill with drinks and food for purchase. Parking is free.
Not in the Portland area or can't make it on October 18? There are virtual race opportunities! We also have options for teams to enter.
We are grateful to our major sponsors: BnK Construction and Permanente Dentistry (crown sponsors); and Columbia Healthcare Banking and Willamette Dental (molar sponsors)
All proceeds go to children's free dental care and education on the Tooth Taxi.
The Dental Foundation of Oregon's Tooth Taxi is on the road 48 weeks a year, providing free dental care and education to children who are uninsured, underinsured, unhoused, rural-based, and/or experiencing a dental emergency. In 2025, the Tooth Taxi team cared for 1,027 children at 32 schools/neighborhood centers, worth nearly $634,000 in free services.
