Portland Parks & Recreation Presents $5 5K Runs:
Running Clubs and Classes to Help with Training!
(Portland, OR) ---
Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) presents a NEW series of 5K
races --- one race each month from May to October at parks across Portland!
The $5 5K races are as affordable as they sound, and more fun than money can buy. Sign up for all 6 races for the price you'd typically pay for ONE Portland road race!
All races feature timing bibs, music and drawings for prizes, along with PP&R's FREE rock climbing wall. All youth age 17 & under run free, and kids age 8 & under have their own, additional free 1K Fun Run.
The races don't start until May, but your training can start NOW. And to help you get ready to run, Portland Parks & Recreation offers running classes and training opportunities across the city. We offer something for all ages, whether you're a marathon veteran or gearing up for your first race.
$5 5K RACE SCHEDULE:
Sunday, May 6 at Columbia Park
Sunday, June 17 at Lents Park
Sunday, July 29 at Gabriel Park
Sunday, August 12 at Grant Park
