ORRC Vernonia Marathon, Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay

Imagine yourself running along a scenic 21-mile course on the Banks-Vernonia State Trail. The beautiful tree-lined path will make you feel like you're in a picture-perfect setting. And that's not all - both the marathon and half marathon events offer a delightful 7-mile, 400-foot downhill stretch into Banks. Once you cross that finish line, you'll be rewarded with some amazing perks. We've got hot soup, baked potatoes, and hot showers ready to welcome and revive all runners and walkers. Plus, our course is certified by the USATF and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. It's a point-to-point route, with 23 miles completely closed off to vehicular traffic. Rest assured, you can focus on your run without any distractions. But here's something unique about our race - it's cupless! That means we're taking a sustainable approach and reducing waste. So don't forget to bring your own refillable water bottle or hydration pack. We're all about enjoying the event while being mindful of the environment. Get ready for an unforgettable experience at our mass participation sports event. Sign up today and join us for some scenic running and a whole lot of fun!
