Runners start the race at the Champoeg Oak Grove Day Use area near the center of the park, and follow a course that takes them northward away from the parking lot toward the Willamette River in the race’s early going. From there, the race winds up and down a number of hills through the park, showing off its hiking and nature trails as well as the historic preservation efforts along the river.
