**This race has been changed to a virtual race. registration closed early and if you are registered you should have received an email with details. The virtual race is going to be held over 8 days and you can submit your results on our race page (details on how to do it will come out soon to assist).**

The races will be held on Sunday, January 14, 2023. The Half Marathon, 10K, and 2-mile races are all run on a flat course on country roads, surrounded by scenic farmland. There is water and toilets on the course. For those expecting to take longer than 2 1/2 hours to run the Half Marathon, there is an early option. Participation is limited to the first 1,000 registered runners for all three races combined.

All top participants will receive finishers' swag. Awards will be given to the male and female overall and masters winners in the Half Marathon and 10K, as well as three-deep for age group winners, per 10-year age category. No awards will be given for the 2-mile race. Early starters' results in the Half Marathon will not be considered for overall or age group awards. There will be lots of random prize giveaways, too, from our generous sponsors!

Packet pickup is in the junior high school gym, where race participants can relax, stretch, and stay warm. Families and friends can hang out in the gym, too. We will have a coffee cart on site courtesy of I-Jive coffee. Since the race starts and finishes right in front of the gym, you can stay inside until the last minute! Afterward, you can celebrate your accomplishments in the school's cafeteria with hot soup, coffee from I-Jive, and freshly baked cookies!

Proceeds from the race will benefit Cascade High School's track & field program, as well as provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors from the mid-Willamette Valley who wish to continue their education.
