Run to Stay Warm

The Run to Stay Warm welcomes elite and novice runners and walkers for its Half Marathon,10K, 5K and free Kids' Run along the Willamette River. The course follows the paved bike paths of the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Trail. Race your way through Steve Prefontaine's old stomping grounds through Alton Baker Park and burn off some extra calories before the coming Thanksgiving feast! All courses begin and end at the new Riverfront Park. Not only is this race fun for all, it supports a great cause; raising funds for the EWEB Customer Care program, which helps income-eligible customers who are having difficulty paying their utility bills. Each year, the program helps thousands of families stay warm throughout the winter months.
