About the Stayton Fun Run
The course mixes pavement and cross-country surfaces, so expect to move between asphalt stretches and softer ground. It runs on a holiday as part of a larger town festival, so the streets around the start have real energy before the gun goes off. A Scout flag ceremony opens the morning, which sets the tone for the whole event.
The race starts and finishes at the community center, which becomes the hub for the rest of the day. The surrounding festival runs well past the finish, with a parade, live music, food booths, and fireworks later in the evening, so there is reason to stay in town after you are done running.

The Stayton Fun Run 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 Jul 27, 2026.
