Foot Traffic Flat Marathon Half Marathon 10k & 5k

The full and half marathon races are run on the same loop course through the island — those running the half marathon run in a single time, while those running the full follow the course a second time around the island.

From the starting line at the Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch, the course takes runners on a clockwise loop around the island, down Gillihan Road and up North Sauvie Island Road.

Runners turn right onto Reeder Road and head northwest along the paved road, detouring for a brief stretch along Oak Island Road and then back onto Reeder for the next few miles.

Once Reeder meets up with Gillihan Road, runners have hit the final third of the race, which takes the field along the bottom half of the loop back to the starting line at the Pumpkin Patch.

Along the way, runners can expect to see local wildlife ranging from cows and songbirds to the bald eagles that commonly fly through the island’s skies, and to see Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens off in the distance if conditions are clear enough.
