Rock Creek Trail parkrun

Embrace the joy of movement at the Rock Creek Trail parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event held weekly in Portland, Oregon. On Saturday, June 27, 2026, experience this welcoming and free race, perfect for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities. The scenic out-and-back course unfolds on a well-maintained, paved multi-use trail, guiding participants along the picturesque Rock Creek. Expect a generally flat route with a small, manageable incline midway, offering views of the beautiful Tualatin Hills and opportunities to spot local wildlife like deer and eagles. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 78°F and comfortable lows near 56°F, with only a 5% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal setting for your morning activity.

This volunteer-organized event, starting near NW West Union Road and NW Kahneeta Drive, is renowned for its inclusive atmosphere, having hosted over 261 events and thousands of finishers since its inception. Rock Creek Trail parkrun prides itself on being the "friendliest 5K around," fostering a supportive environment whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a walk in nature. While there are no traditional aid stations, convenient public restrooms and a water fountain are available on the trail near the children's play area. The course is also ADA accessible and stroller-friendly, ensuring everyone can participate. After crossing the finish line, extend the camaraderie with fellow participants at the popular post-parkrun coffee gathering at Mad Greek Deli.
