Floss & Run

Floss & Run is a charity race held on October 18, 2026 at Rock Creek Country Club, 5100 NW Neakahnie Avenue, Portland, Oregon. The event raises funds for The Dental Foundation of Oregon's Tooth Taxi, which provides free dental care and education to children.

The course runs on a professionally rolled golf path through a private setting beneath large Douglas Firs and uses a figure-eight layout. Distances offered include:

• 1K for children aged 11 and under
• 5K run
• 5K walk, with space planned for strollers

All registered participants receive a reusable swag bag that includes a Tooth Taxi headband, dental and health items, a raffle ticket, and free entry into a putting contest. Additional raffle tickets and putting contest entries may be purchased on site for $10. Finishers receive medals and the top three finishers in each age category earn awards. The host venue has a bar and grill with food and drinks for purchase, and parking is free. Virtual race options and team entry options are available.

Major sponsors named for the event include BnK Construction, Permanente Dentistry, Columbia Healthcare Banking, and Willamette Dental. All proceeds support the Tooth Taxi. In 2025 the Tooth Taxi provided care to 1,027 children at 32 schools and neighborhood centers, representing nearly $634,000 in free services.
