From the Organizer
Fun for the whole family. Multiple distances to choose from that include options for both runners and walkers. A looped course for the 10K and Half-Marathon, it's a hilly but fun course. There is a three-hour cutoff for the event. The course must close at 10am, so there is no walking option for the half-marathon.
The event starts and finishes at North Plains Elementary School. The 10K and Half-Marathon courses will be run counterclockwise on a loop course on Pumpkin Ridge Road. The 5K will be an out-and-back on the same course so everybody finishes in the same direction.
THE PUMPKIN RIDGE HALF MARATHON IS A USA Track & Field (USATF) CERTIFIED COURSE: OR25002JH

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
