Run on the River - Astoria

Run on the River takes place in Astoria, Oregon, in late May, with a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K and a 5K along the Astoria Riverwalk and its views of the Columbia River coast. Start times were not available in the listing.

After finishing, runners can celebrate at Buoy Beer's Lagerfest. Each entry includes a race shirt, a finisher medal and a drink provided by Buoy Beer Company. Proceeds support a good cause: they fund swim lessons for fourth graders and grants for youth programs run by the Astoria Parks and Recreation District. Coastal weather on the north Oregon coast can be cool, damp and windy even in spring, so pack a rain layer for the walk to the start.
