Boring Marathon and associated races - Boring, Oregon
The event offers multiple race options and a virtual series in Boring, Oregon on September 13, 2026. Four in-person distances are available:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The marathon is a Boston qualifier. Races are officially timed and include aid stations along the course. Finishers receive a medal and a tech race shirt; custom bibs and postrace food and drinks are provided. For 2026 the finisher medals will be 3D printed, with local school students involved in designing the logo and a design release planned by the end of April.
The event is organized entirely by volunteers and operates as a nonprofit. All net proceeds support Sam Barlow High School track and field and cross country, and the West Orient and Damascus middle school track and field teams. The race continues a partnership with Sneakers4Good to collect worn but usable running shoes.
Additional features for 2026 include a free kid's mile for children 12 and under with a ribbon, and informal mentions of goats, slugs on the trail, and bagels available after the race. Route, aid station, parking, registration, volunteer, and sponsor information are provided by the organizers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
