Organiser's description

The Help Oregon Veterans 5K Run and 3K Walk are organized by the nonprofit organization Help Oregon Veterans to raise awareness and funds to assist homeless Veterans with temporary shelter. The run and walk courses wind around the beautiful tree lined streets and manicured lawns of McNary Estates subdivision, starting and finishing at McNary Golf Club in Keizer.

Come stretch your legs, raise some $ for Veterans, and just maybe challenge yourself to a personal best while you are at it. Did we mention the course is FLAT?
