Lebanon Strawberry Run/Walk

Lace up for a truly sweet experience at the Lebanon Strawberry Run/Walk, set for Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the heart of Lebanon, Oregon. This cherished community event offers participants the choice of a flat and fast 5K or a fun 1-Mile run/walk, both designed to kick off the Annual Lebanon Strawberry Festival with an energetic start. The nationally certified 5K and 1-Mile courses are out-and-back routes that follow the vibrant Grand Parade path along Highway 20 through downtown Lebanon, ensuring an exhilarating atmosphere as enthusiastic spectators line the streets, cheering you on.

The race begins and ends near the American Legion hall at Main & Vine Streets (specifically American Legion Building, 480 Main Street), where packet pickup and registration also take place, so arriving early is recommended to navigate any festival-day traffic. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant weather, with highs around 71F and lows around 47F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. What truly sets this race apart is its integration into the historic Lebanon Strawberry Festival, a tradition since 1909. After crossing the finish line, you'll be perfectly positioned to enjoy the Grand Parade and partake in the festival's famous "World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake," served free to thousands. Your participation also supports a great cause, with race entry fees benefiting the East Linn Christian Cross Country and Track & Field teams.
