We’re excited to return to the Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead in Hood River for Columbia Gorge CASA’s 3rd Annual Fall Family Run, proudly presented by McDonald’s of the Gorge. Join us on October 3rd for a fun, family-friendly event set against the stunning backdrop of the Columbia River Gorge—all in support of Columbia Gorge CASA’s advocacy for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
Rain or shine, we’ll be ready to go—so bring your best weather-ready spirit and join us for a great day outdoors in support of a meaningful cause. Race entries are nonrefundable; however, race insurance is available when registering online and may provide reimbursement depending on coverage.
