Starting bright and early at 8:00 AM PST, this event offers a welcoming yet engaging experience for participants across all three distances: a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon. The course features an accessible out-and-back design, with the 5K covering two loops, the 10K completing four, and the Half Marathon pushing endurance over six loops. This looped format allows runners to maintain focus and offers opportunities for supporters to cheer on their athletes at the start/finish area located at 303 NW Lake Rd.
Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 53F and lows around 38F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, making for potentially crisp and invigorating running weather. All finishers will proudly receive a commemorative medal, a testament to their achievement. For those with a flair for the festive, a "Best Costume" award adds a unique and playful element to the race atmosphere. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start, concluding 10 minutes prior, and it's essential to note that all registrations must be completed online via RunSignup in advance, as no on-site registration will be available.
With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, the Viking 5K, 10K, & 13.1M offers ample time for both seasoned athletes aiming for a personal best and those new to racing looking to conquer a new distance. Whether you're seeking a focused performance or a fun, themed running experience in the scenic setting of Camas, this event promises a memorable start to your late winter racing calendar.
