The Tulip Trail Run, officially known as the Wooden Shoe TulipFest Run, offers an unparalleled springtime running experience on Saturday, March 21, 2026, in scenic Woodburn, Oregon. This vibrant event invites runners to choose from a 5K, 10K, or a challenging 13.1M half marathon, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the renowned Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. The courses feature an exhilarating off-road journey directly through 40 acres of spectacular tulip fields, showcasing millions of blooms in a kaleidoscope of colors. While the 5K and 10K largely remain within these picturesque fields, the half marathon extends onto charming roadways surrounding the farm, offering diverse scenery. Runners should be prepared for varying weather conditions and anticipate some mud on the trails, which past participants have noted can add to the fun and adventure amidst the bright flowers. Typical race day conditions for this time of year include highs around 57°F and lows around 40°F, with a 22% chance of precipitation, providing excellent conditions for layers that can be shed.

What truly sets the Wooden Shoe TulipFest Run apart is the immersive experience of being part of the larger Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, a cherished Oregon tradition since 1985. Race registration includes admission to the festival, allowing runners and their supporters to enjoy additional attractions such as wine tasting, a food and craft market, children's play areas, and even the chance to see hot air balloons. The start and finish are conveniently located on the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm at 33814 S. Meridian Road. This unique blend of a spirited race and a celebrated community festival makes for an unforgettable day for both competitive runners and families looking for a memorable outing.
