Run, Walk, and Rally to End Senior Hunger with Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels!

Join us Saturday, October 3 at 10 AM for our Oktoberfeast-themed 5K Fun Run & Walk along the beautiful Columbia River. Whether you’re racing for a personal best, strolling with friends, bringing the kids (and dogs!), or just showing up for the fun—this event is all about coming together for a cause that stays right here at home!

📍 Start & Finish: 2600 North Columbia Center Boulevard
(Parking near New Vintage Church)

 
Everyone Is Welcome
Runners, walkers, strollers, wheelchair users, kids, teams, and dogs are all encouraged to join.
And yes… costumes are highly encouraged too! 🎉

 
Make Your Miles Matter
New this year: every participant is a fundraiser—but it’s totally flexible.

When you register, you’ll automatically get your own fundraising page where friends, family, and coworkers can support your 5K.

Fundraise as much or as little as you’d like
No minimum required—your registration is enough to participate
Want to go all in? Form a team or even create a page for your dog 

Can't come in person? Or not interested in racing? Consider selecting our virtual 5K option to still help support our cause to outrun Senior hunger!

Every dollar raised stays right here in our community for Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels, helping ensure local seniors have access to nutritious meals and meaningful connection.
