About Running City

Running City is a city-wide quest — sort of like a scavenger hunt — that takes participants to interesting locations across Portland.

Goal:
Participants will follow designated routes to interesting locations all across the city. At each point along the route, there are fun tasks that test your attention to detail. There are prizes for the fastest teams in timed categories!
Teams:
Each team can have up to four members. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Register your team in advance below.
Routes:
Each team can choose its preferred route and competition level: walking, walking with small children (kids can be in strollers), cycling, or running. Each route is timed (4-8 hours) and varies with each category.
Starting Time:
All teams start at different times. Each team will be designated its starting time after registration is completed. Starting intervals will be allocated between 9am and noon. Register early to get an earlier start!
Registration Fee:
The registration fee is $35 per team, and covers all printed materials for the team, souvenirs for each team member, and prizes for the winning teams in running and cycling categories.
