ORRC Champoeg 10K / 20K / 30K and Free Kid's Run

Lace up for the ORRC Champoeg 10K / 20K / 30K and Free Kid's Run on March 21, 2026, held within the historic and picturesque Champoeg State Park in St. Paul, Oregon. This event, organized by the venerable Oregon Road Runners Club, offers a unique blend of history, nature, and recreation. Runners will navigate a mostly flat course, featuring a mix of paved bike paths, roadways, and some gravel sections with gentle rollers, winding through lush forests, vibrant fields, and serene wetlands. The scenic route along the Willamette River provides expansive views and opportunities to spot local wildlife, including over 130 bird species. For those tackling the 20K or 30K, the challenge comes in completing multiple loops of the engaging 10K course. Typical race day conditions in late March bring comfortable highs around 56°F and lows near 39°F, with a moderate chance of precipitation.

Runners can expect a well-supported experience with four aid stations strategically placed throughout each 10K loop, providing water, Gatorade, fruit, and other goodies. The Oregon Road Runners Club champions sustainable practices, encouraging participants to bring their own hydration devices for refills. Post-race, celebrate your accomplishment with fellow runners and family at the heated outdoor finish line pavilion, enjoying a warming soup and bagel lunch, along with raffle prizes. The event also caters to the youngest athletes with a free quarter-mile Kid's Run, making it a perfect outing for the whole family to embrace fitness and community amidst Oregon's rich history.
