Fall Festival 5k Run/walk

The Fall Festival 5k Run/walk is part of the Corvallis Fall Festival weekend, with races taking place Sunday morning adjacent to the festival on Oregon State University’s campus. Heart of the Valley Runners organize it, offering a 5K, a 10K, and a 1K Kids Run. Walkers are welcome, and the event is affordably priced and family-friendly. The 5K and 10K begin together, with the kids’ race starting later. The event began in 1978, establishing it as a long-standing local tradition rather than a temporary festival addition. Participants include families, children, walkers, local runners, and individuals seeking a short race connected to the Fall Festival.
