You don't want to miss out on this great event. The best part is that all proceeds go to fund Astoria Parks and Recreation scholarships so that children and families in the area can access health and wellness opportunities through Parks and Recreation.

This is Astoria's premiere half marathon, 10k, and 5k. Enjoy a run around the Astoria River Walk and finish with an amazing hand stamped glass medal made exclusively by Fernhill Glass Studios and stay for the awards an after party Sponsored by Buoy Beer.

Registration includes a t-shirt, finisher's medal, and lunch and a beverage from Buoy Beer Company.

The regular course has been USATF certified - however, due to construction on the Riverwalk taking place during our race, the course will not be certified this year. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are looking forward to this event and it takes a lot of help from volunteers like you.
Volunteers can plan to spend part of the day, May 19th assisting in various areas of the race. In addition to our appreciation for volunteering your time, you will also receive, lunch the day of the event and have the opportunity to participate in our volunteer meeting at Buoy Beer with drinks and snacks on Thursday, May 16. Run on the River is a fundraiser for the Astoria Parks Recreation and Community Foundation providing scholarships for individuals and families to access health and wellness opportunities through Astoria Parks and Recreation. Last year over $20K was raised and nearly 1000 scholarships were awarded in our community. This would not be possible without volunteers like you helping the day of the race. Thank you for offering your time!

* This is NOT a closed course. Some portions may be closed but there may be other runners/walkers/bikers along the Riverwalk. In 2019 and 2020 there will also be construction on portions of the Riverwalk. The route will be detoured around the construction.
* Identifiable volunteers will be on hand to help direct pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the few crossings, particularly on the west end.
* Aid stations will be available along the entire half marathon course (which includes the 10K and 5K routes). The stations will offer water and snacks donated by our sponsors.
* Run with care! You will be running across trestles, uneven surfaces, and trolley tracks which can be slick especially when wet (and it "sometimes" rains in Astoria!). Please watch your footing at all times.

The start and finish location for the race will be at Buoy Beer Co on 8th Street.

Limited parking is available at this location but you may park in the DHS parking lot (450 Marine Drive) or at the Aquatic Center (1997 Marine Drive).

We are unable to provide gear check at this event. Please make arrangements to secure your belongings in a vehicle or with a spectator. Your Buoy Beer drink and food tickets will be attached to your race bib.
