Join us for the 4th Annual Run With The Wild, a community-oriented 5K and 10K run/walk that is suitable for individuals of all ages, families, and even dogs! This event will be held along the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, starting at the Mark O. Hatfield Trailhead (WEST Entrance) in the beautifully scenic Columbia River Gorge. This trail offers a paved ADA accessible route, allowing for wheelchairs, strollers and breathtaking views along the way.
100% of proceeds from registration, t-shirts, drawing entries, PledgeReg fundraising and additional donations are donated directly to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. We will have a variety of fun activities leading up to the race. Don’t miss out on pre-race activities such as facepainting, Smokey Bear meet and greet, silent auction & raffle with tons of amazing prizes!
Show support for your firefighters & their families and have fun doing it!
