United PDX 5K Fun Run

Join us for the 50th Lake Oswego Lake Run this year on May 2, 2026!

For 5 decades, runners have gathered in Lake Oswego to tackle the hilly terrain and enjoy the beautiful views. The run has attracted runners of all ages from across the country and is welcoming you to join us this year on Saturday, May 2nd.

Beyond a beloved community event and a great way to get out, be active, meet a goal, prepare for a year of races ... Proceeds from the Lake Run support Oregonians in need of stable and affordable housing. By running in the Lake Run, you are doing so much more goodness than just for yourself and the friends/ family you run alongside, you are helping your community. This run is organized by Northwest Housing Alternatives, where we create opportunity through housing and work tirelessly to end homelessness in Clackamas County. Please join us in this endeavor, in this fight for everyone's basic right. Together, we can change lives.

Gender Recognition and Inclusion: We believe that everyone has a place in the running community that is respectful, safe, and inclusive. In an effort to support individuals that do not identify as either male or female, we have the categories of non-binary and "Prefer Not to Say." Individuals who select either option will be eligible for the non-binary awards category.
