This scenic, 13.1 mile 'Tour de Corvallis' is mostly flat with two slow gradual climbs, and two gradual descents.
The entire course is on paved roads, sidewalk and bike paths.
The 5k is one of the flattest around. You can expect a PR on this course!

More info including the route to comming soon, but expect it to start after the 5k event on Saturday around 11:30am. 2016: This year's shoes weighed approximately 130 pounds. As in past years, the reusable shoes are donated to the Moore Foundation while the remainder go to the Nike grind program. The MORE Program http://www.morefoundationgroup.org/ With every pair of gently used athletic shoes, MORE is able to plant one ton of carbon grounding trees and train poor farmers in sustainable agroforestry. Over the past 20 years Nike’s Reuse-a-Shoe and Nike Grind programs have been collecting worn out shoes bound for the landfill and along with pre-consumer waste, turned this into sport courts and other products.http://www.nikegrind.com/ Thank to all, especially Five Star Sports, for making this part of the Corvallis Half Marathon possible.

Due to construction on Reser Stadium the usual finish is not available. We will be moving the finish line to Ralph Mill Lane between Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum.

The 2016 event date has been set to run in conjunction with the OSU Spring Game. The time of the 5k will be set so runners can complete the race and have time to cool down and change before heading into the stadium to watch the game! Like us on Facebook:
