Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K / 10K

Eola Hills "No Hills" 5K / 10K is held in Rickreall, Oregon, on November 14, 2026. The 10K (6.2 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 miles) follows at 9:15 a.m., both on a flat out-and-back course with chip timing. Proceeds go to the track and cross-country programs at Dallas High School and Central High School. Refreshments including pizza and a drink are served after the finish, ribbons go to the leading runners in each age group, and the first three men and women in each race take awards.

A flat out-and-back is the friendliest setup for a personal best, because you can hold one rhythm on the way out and know exactly what is left on the way back. For the 10K, eight weeks of four runs a week with one 20-minute tempo is a solid build.
