About the race
Ralph's Run in Forest Grove, Oregon is an annual road running event held on Saturday, January 02, 2027. Events use Tom McCall Upper Elementary School (1341 Pacific Ave) as the start and finish and route runners and walkers along back roads through local wine country.
The event continues a tradition of changing the long distance each year; the long race for 2027 is a 20.27K. The program also includes shorter distances and a free kids run that was added in 2024. The 20.27K and the 10K share the first three miles, separate, then rejoin for the final 1.5 miles. The 5K is an out-and-back that follows the last 1.5 miles of the 10K and passes a cemetery hill. These courses are not closed to traffic; participants are required to follow Rules of the Road and keep left when running against traffic.
All finishers receive a medal. A long sleeve tech shirt is available for an additional fee of $20, with shirts guaranteed only to pre-registered participants. Race fees for 2027 are $65 for the 20.27K, $55 for the 10K run or walk, $40 for the 5K run or walk, and the kids 1/4 mile run is free.
Packet pickup is available before race day at Tom McCall East and on race day at the event; dynamic bib assignment is used for pickup. ORRC membership provides race discounts and other member benefits. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
