Corvallis Fall Festival Run 2026

The Corvallis Fall Festival Run starts and finishes near McNary Field on the Oregon State University campus, between 11th and 14th streets. It is a community race featuring an old-school 5K and 10K that begin in the morning, followed by a free 1K Kids' Fun Run later. The event is designed for local runners, families, younger participants, and anyone seeking a low-pressure race connected to the Fall Festival. The 5K and 10K utilize city pedestrian paths, offering a simple, local feel rather than a closed-road event. Heart of the Valley Runners presents the race, aligning with the club’s mission to support running at all levels in Corvallis. This run marks its 47th year, giving it a significant history among small-town festival races. Proceeds support the community, HOTV members receive a registration discount, and the free kids' race highlights the event’s family focus.
