About the Event

CASA Fall Family Run & Costume Contest presented by McDonald's of the Gorge

Join us on October 3rd as we come together as a community to support Columbia Gorge CASA's advocacy for abused and neglected children! Lace up your sneakers and rally your loved ones for a morning of fun and wellness. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all ages. Let's run/walk together for a brighter future!

The 5K race will start at 9AM at the Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead which will be professionally chip timed by e8 Timing. The 1 mile jog/walk will immediately follow which will not be chip timed. Registration is FREE for those under the age of 18. Online registration closes on Oct. 2nd. You must register by Sept. 17th to be guaranteed a race t-shirt. Race registration is non-refundable without race insurance.

McDonald's of the Gorge will have breakfast available for everyone. We’ll kick things off with a high-energy warm-up session led by Jill Catherine from the Gorge Leadership Institute. Thanks to Studio Fit, hydration stations will be available at the starting line and along the course.

New This Year: Costume Contest!

Get creative and show your festive spirit in your best family-friendly costume! It doesn’t have to be fall-themed—but extra kudos to those who channel autumn vibes like leaves, pumpkins, woodland creatures, lumberjacks, or anything that sparks joy. A fun prize will be awarded for the best adult, child, and dog costumes, so bring your A-game and have some fun with it!
