RACE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE 2024
SATURDAY, APRIL 27 ST. HELENS, OREGON
Last Day to Guarantee a Race T-shirt Sunday, March 31
Taking steps to help end child abuse!
Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual runner or just looking for a fun, family activity, all ages and ability levels are welcome! Pick for your favorite course: Half Marathon, 10K, 5K or the 1 Mile Family Fun Walk.
Overcoming child abuse and neglect is a difficult process because the road to healing means children must name and revisit the painful things that were done to them. This journey is made easier when children and those who are helping them know they aren’t walking alone.

RACE COURSE CHANGES FOR 2024
The St. Helens Riverfront Renovation Project is now underway at Columbia View Park and along 1st street in downtown St. Helens. Due to construction and road closures, we moved our annual races courses temporarily.
