About the OktoberFeast
The course runs along the Columbia River, starting and finishing near a church on North Columbia Center Boulevard. The route is flat riverside pavement, open to runners, walkers, strollers, and dogs. Costumes are encouraged, and the timed option means you can race it seriously or treat it as a casual outing with the family.
After the finish, there is a free outdoor celebration at the Meals on Wheels campus nearby. Expect food, a beer garden, live music, and activities for kids and dogs. It is open to everyone, not just participants, so the post-race crowd tends to be bigger than the race itself.
