Get ready for a unique and exhilarating challenge at the ORRC Dual Duel, Oregon's longest-running race, returning to the Rex Putnam High School track in Milwaukie, OR, on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. This traditional weekday evening event, steeped in over 50 years of history, offers a vibrant atmosphere and a distinct format perfect for competitive runners and casual participants alike.

The highlight of the Dual Duel is its signature 10-mile track relay, available for both runners and race walkers. Teams can choose between the classic 2-person Dual Duel or the 4-person Quad Relay.

This provides a strategic element and built-in rest periods, making it an intense yet enjoyable experience likened to an interval workout. While the course is flat, consisting of 40 laps around a metric track (with the first lap slightly longer to ensure a precise 10 miles), the continuous rotation keeps the energy high. For the younger athletes, a free 400m Kids Run kicks off the evening, ensuring fun for the whole family.
