When you sign up for the Gresham Lilac Run presented by Unitus Community Credit Union, ALL race proceeds go directly to Family of Friends Mentoring. This group is a local non-profit that works with kids and families all over East Multnomah County by pairing kids with volunteer adult mentors. Research overwhelmingly demonstrates that kids who have more positive adults in their lives are more successful in work, play, life and love. Each course will begin and end at Main City Park. Course maps and details will be coming soon. The 5K event will be held on Saturday, May 8 and the 10K and half marathon on Sunday, May 9. We are taking these measures to best accommodate socially distanced safety precautions.
As of March 11, the Gresham Lilac Run will be held as an in person event with multiple heats for each event to comply with the State and Country outdoor recreation COVID guidelines.
As we approach race day, further information will be shared with participants about safety precautions in place come May.
Due to COVID gathering limits we will not be hosting a post-race celebration at the Park, but thanks to Bronze sponsor Migration Brewing, participants can visit any Migration Brewing location for their post-race celebration drink of choice and we highly recommend grabbing a pizza with the family too!
The Little Lilac Run will be back as well, but will remain a virtual event this year. This is a FREE event for kids 12 and under. Each kid will receive a runner bib and medal!
Please email [email protected] with each child's name and age you would like to register for this event.
Special shoutout to our event sponsors who are making this event possible: Presenting sponsor Unitus Community Credit Union; Bronze sponsors Konell Construction & Demolition Corp. and Migration Brewing; and event partners Country Coffee Gresham and Marathon Printing, Inc.
