ORRC Ralph's Run is a running race on January 2, 2027 in Forest Grove, OR, with entry fees from $40 to $65.
Formerly the ORRC Y2K Run, now Ralph's Run in honor of longtime ORRC member Ralph Brown, this event moves back to its original premise of a changing distance every year. Starting out in 1986 as the 8.6 in '86, it will now be 20.27K in 2027. You get a new PR every year! It also features a 10K run/walk, a 5K run/walk, and a kid's run. All events start at 9am and the course closes at noon. (There is an 8:30 start intended ONLY for 20.27K participants who can’t make the three-hour cut-off.)
