- Kids Fun Run
The 5K and 10K use looped courses. The Kids Fun Run is a 200 yard out and back for children. The event is dog friendly and strollers are permitted; stroller users are asked to line up near the back of the start chute to reduce course congestion.
All 5K and 10K participants receive 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.
Heart to Start is also a free 12-week training program powered by Basecamp Prevention + Wellness, part of Providence Heart Institute. The program is virtually based, with a local weekly meetup in SW Portland during the season. Season 15 begins November 22, 2026 and concludes just ahead of the event. The training focuses on weekly interval plans and encourages participants to progress at their own pace.
The Providence Heart Institute accepts donations to support Automated External Defibrillator distribution and training for schools and community organizations in Oregon and SW Washington. Since 2017, numerous groups have received AEDs through this initiative. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
