Distances

- Kids Fun Run - 200 yard out-and-back
The 5K and 10K use looped courses. The kids race is a short out-and-back near the event area. Course maps are provided for each distance.
Registration and packet pickup information are listed as coming soon. The event provides participant items for finishers, including a Nike Dri-Fit race shirt, race bib, finisher medal, and a swag bag. Food trucks and beer will be available for purchase on site.
Strollers are permitted; participants with strollers are asked to line up toward the back of the start chute to reduce course congestion. The 5K is organized into waves by pace, with a designated wave that accommodates strollers and dogs.
Heart to Start is linked to a free 12-week training program run by Basecamp Prevention + Wellness, part of Providence Heart Institute. The program began in 2012 and reports more than 2,500 participants annually. Season 15 begins November 22, 2026, and local weekly meetups are offered in SW Portland during the season. The event also accepts donations for AEDs and related training provided through the Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
