Camas Lions Oktoberfest 5K 10K Run/Walk

Welcome to the Slurpee-Fueled Suffering

Ever looked at a 7-Eleven roller grill and thought, "I could run 100 miles on those taquitos"? No? Just us?

The 24/7Eleven is not your standard trail ultra. There are no sweeping alpine vistas or pristine singletrack here. This is an urban scavenger hunt through the heart of Clark County. Your mission is simple but soul-crushing: Visit as many 7-Eleven locations in the county as possible within a 24-hour window.

The Rules of the Road

• The Clock: You have 24 hours. Start at Foot Traffic, finish at Foot Traffic, but the clock doesn't stop for brain freezes.

• The Proof: Every "Summit" (store visit) must be documented with a geo-tagged photo of you and the store frontage.

• The Fuel: This is the kicker. You are strictly prohibited from consuming any calories not purchased inside a 7-Eleven during the event. If it didn’t come off a roller, out of a fountain, or from a crinkly plastic bag, it’s a DNF.

• The Route: Total "Choose Your Own Adventure." Map it out, bridge the gaps, and try to avoid the Vancouver traffic.

Why Do This?

Because the Vantucky Trailrunners believe that "adventure" is a mindset. Whether we’re hitting the mud at Whipple Creek or hitting the pavement on Fourth Plain, we do it with heart, humor, and a questionable amount of processed sodium.

Join us for the 5th Annual Paper Maker OCR!

The 13th Annual Boring Marathon, Half-Boring Half-Marathon, Constantly Boring 10K, and Somewhat Boring 5K will take place on Sunday, September 13, 2026. All races start and finish at Boring Station Trailhead Park in downtown Boring, Oregon. Parking will be at Boring Middle School, Naas Elementary School, Boring-Damascus Grange, and the surrounding neighborhood. Please make sure to check out the updated parking map, as we have been able to add almost 100 additional parking spots. As always please respect the neighbors by not blocking driveways or fence openings, fire hydrants, or parking where 'no parking' sings are posted. Please use SE Wally Rd and SE School Ave to reach parking after 6:15 am, as runners will be crossing SE Dee St. The four races are all on the Springwater Trail, out and back, with the marathon being 2-loops of the half marathon course. Both the Half Marathon and Marathon Courses are certified courses and the Marathon Course is once again a Boston Qualifier!

The Boring Marathon Course runs the half marathon course twice and you will get a half marathon split time when you turn for lap 2. The course is USATF Certified Certificate # OR24005JH.

The Half Boring Half Marathon is an out-and-back on the Springwater Trail from Boring Stations Trailhead Park to Towle Ave and back. This course is now a USATF certified Half Marathon course. Certificate # OR24004JH.

The Constantly Boring 10K, which gets really close to the City of Gresham boundary, but never leaves the Boring area, is just a constantly Boring stroll. This race starts at the same spot as the others and is a short 5k out and back course. This race sold out the fastest in 2025, so register early!

The Somewhat Boring 5K, never really leaves the Boring area so truly is just somewhat Boring, starts at the same spot and is a short out and back course.

For 2026, as like the last few years we will continue to offer a virtual option for those that would like to earn the Boring Shirt and Medal, but cannot travel to our lovely little city.

Race Entry Limits - Marathon is limited to 100 entries, the Half Marathon to 220 entries, the 10K to 140 entries, the 5K 140 entries, and Virtual (Unlimited).

To help guide a shirt choice, we will only be purchasing unisex cut shirts. We use the A4 Cooling Performance Crew for sizing help.
