Hippie Chick Half Marathon 2026 : Champoeg State Park
The event takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at the Riverside Day Use Area in Champoeg State Park. It offers three distances: a half marathon, a quarter marathon and a 5K. Entry is limited to 1000 participants.
Distances
- Half marathon, 13.1 miles
- Quarter marathon, 6.55 miles
- 5K
The course uses park roads and multiuse bike paths and is described as mostly flat and scenic. The 5K follows the first 1.5 miles of the half course and then turns back toward the finish. The half and quarter share the first 6.55 miles; half marathoners complete the loop twice. Hydration stations along the route provide water and NUUN sports drink, with select stations offering GU Energy Gels. Portable toilets are available at several stations. Mile marker locations are listed for each distance.
Packet pick up is available at Portland Running Company in Beaverton and on race day at the Riverside Day Use Area. Park entry has a fee; state parks passes are accepted and a limited number of preprinted passes may be available from event volunteers. After the races there is a beer garden, post race food and music.
A separate Hippie Chick training program runs for eleven weeks, meets on Saturdays, includes coaching and seminars, and has a program fee. The event partners with Meals on Wheels People, which serves older adults in Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
