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. The course is as flat as a pancake! After your run, visit our state capitol in downtown Salem or scenic Riverfront City Park on the Willamette just a 10-minute drive away. 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? Awards: trophies for first overall male and female and first masters male and female, medals for 10-year age group winners, and $25 cash for setting a new male or female course record. Men's record: Chris Poole, Newberg, 2022, 17:49. Women's record: Orianna Horneck, Portland, 2021, 20:12.
