Viking 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Lace up your running shoes for the Viking 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, returning to picturesque Camas, Washington, on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This inviting event offers runners of all levels the chance to conquer their chosen distance amidst a scenic backdrop. Kicking off bright and early at 8:00 AM PST from Heritage Park, located at 303 NW Lake Rd, the race features an accessible out-and-back course design.

Participants in the 5K will complete two loops, while 10K runners tackle four loops of a 0.78-mile segment. Half Marathoners will challenge themselves over six loops of a longer 1.09-mile out-and-back course, providing ample opportunity for supporters to cheer on athletes at the start/finish area with each pass. Typical race day conditions in late February offer crisp, invigorating weather, with highs around 53F and lows near 38F, and a 20% chance of precipitation. All finishers will be awarded a commemorative medal to celebrate their achievement, and for those who enjoy a bit of Nordic flair, a "Best Costume" award adds a unique and playful element to the race atmosphere. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, the Viking race welcomes both seasoned competitors aiming for a personal best and those newer to the running scene.
