About the Forest Grove Lions Club Run & Walk for Sight and Hearing
This race starts near the intersection of two streets in Forest Grove, with the surrounding area tied closely to a university that has optometry and audiology programs. The event is organized by the local Lions Club, and all money raised goes back to the community through scholarships and equipment for students and neighbors in need.
Packet pickup happens the evening before the race at the university's optometry building on Pacific Avenue. If you miss that window, bibs are available race morning near the start area for a short time before the gun. No pickup after that, though packets can be mailed if you arrange it when you register.

The Forest Grove Lions Club Run & Walk for Sight and Hearing has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
