Camelback Run

Lace up for the annual Camelback Run on February 28, 2026, in Phoenix, OR, an event supporting the Phoenix High School Track and Field team. This community-focused race offers distances for all abilities: a challenging 15K, a spirited 5K, and a Kids' Mile. All races kick off and conclude on or next to the new Phoenix High School track, providing an exciting atmosphere for participants and spectators alike. The 15K course takes runners through the scenic back roads of Phoenix, promising "gnarly hills" and amazing sights, while the 5K is an out-and-back route along Hilsinger Road. Remember that routes are on public roads and trails, so runners should exercise caution.

The Camelback Run is more than just a race; it's a direct contribution to local high school athletes, helping to fund meet entry fees and new equipment. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 55°F and lows around 30°F, and a modest 9% chance of precipitation, the weather is often ideal for running. Age division awards, including trophies for first place, medals for second, and ribbons for third, celebrate top finishers. Packet pickup and day-of-race registration are conveniently located at the Phoenix High School track from 9-10 am on race day. Participants aged 18 and under can join the fun for free, making it a fantastic family-friendly event. While specific aid station details were not readily available, the focus on community and accessible distances ensures a memorable experience for everyone.
