OUR RACE IS BACK!

Registration opens tomorrow, January 6th, for the 2025 event! The 2025 races will take place on Sunday, September 14th in lovely Boring Oregon, and we hope that you will join us!

Please note that for the month of January we have made the early registration period worth your consideration, as the prices this month are less than at any point last year. All of the 2025 races have a hard registration cap due to limited parking at our race. Register early to lock in your spot.

We are excited to see you all in just 5 days, but there is more you can do to help us and the running community. Bring your used running shoes to drop in one of the boxes at packet pickup on Saturday or the morning of the race. Those shoes will be sent to and will help others in developing countries with access to shoes they can run in.

Here is the 2024 Finisher Medal! The 2024 design was created by a local 6th grade student.

New for this year will be unique lanyards for each race. The marathon, half marathon, and 8k will each be a different color and have the specific race distance on them. In the past every lanyards just said Boring Marathon and the feedback we got from participants was helpful with this change.
