The Oregon Trail® Game 5k presented by Oregon City Schools Foundation is a run based on the 1980’s classic computer game, The Oregon Trail®! Runners are taken on an interactive journey where they’ll make decisions as if they were traveling from Missouri to Oregon. Will you float or ford the river, or die of dysentery along the way? Each decision you make along the trail will determine your ultimate fate. This one-of-a-kind event celebrates Oregon City’s heritage and encourages an active lifestyle and supports our local schools. Grab your pioneer bonnet and get ready to survive the journey
2026 features the 5K, One Mile Walk and Free Kids Run!
In addition to receiving a timed score, runners and walkers will also receive a game score at the end, based on the decisions they make throughout the game.
Course features include:
• Start and end at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center
• Run past the iconic 100-year-old Municipal Elevator
• Challenging 223-step run up stairs alongside Singer Hill Falls
