From the Organizer
Join Columbia Gorge Toyota and Honda for our 5th Annual Benefit Run And Walk.
Our mission is to put on a family friendly event where EVERY dollar brought in will be donated to a local cause.
Columbia Gorge Toyota and Honda will MATCH the first $5,000!!! The local recipient will be announced this spring. In 2025 we raised $17,611 for the Columbia Gorge Food Bank!
5k AND 1 mile run/walk options. Kids 12 and under are FREE!
Have a business, group, or organization? Try our Medium or Large flock options to easily sign up the whole crew.
Not a runner, no problem! Bring the whole family (Fido included) for face painting, music, costume contests, photos, fire pits, and the ability to give back in a very simple way.
The big Lady will also be on location, dressed especially for the occasion.
See you there!
********* Runner bib pick up will be held on 11-25 4-7pm at Columbia Gorge Honda, 1800 W 6th st. The Dalles, OR 97058************
