Camelback Run 15K/5K

Get ready for an exhilarating day at the Camelback Run on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in picturesque Phoenix, Oregon! This community-focused event features a challenging 15K, a fun-filled 5K, and a Kids' Mile, making it a perfect outing for the whole family. All races start and finish at the brand new Phoenix High School track, offering a vibrant atmosphere for both participants and spectators.

The 15K course promises an adventure for runners seeking a test of endurance, winding through scenic back roads with "thrilling" and "gnarly hills" that provide both a workout and amazing sights of the surrounding area. For those looking for a quicker pace or a more accessible route, the 5K offers a straightforward out-and-back journey, ideal for all skill levels. Runners should be aware that the courses utilize public roads and trails that remain open to traffic, so caution is advised. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 55F and lows around 30F, and only a 9% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the personal challenge and enjoyment, the Camelback Run stands out for its noble cause. This event is a vital fundraiser for the Phoenix High School Track and Field team, with proceeds directly supporting meet entry fees and the purchase of new throwing implements and jumping equipment. Participants can look forward to earning age division awards, with trophies for first place, medals for second, and ribbons for third, celebrating achievements across all categories. With an affordable entry fee and free registration for participants 18 and under, it's an inclusive and impactful way to kick off your running season while supporting local student-athletes.
