*A 5K run open to runners of all abilities starting at 9:10 a.m.

*A 5K walk that begins at 9:40 a.m.; we'll start our stroller runners here at the front to ensure space for all on the figure-eight course.

All registered participants will receive a re-useable swag bag with a cool Tooth Taxi headband, dental- and health-related items, a raffle ticket for a chance to win prizes from our amazing local sponsors, and free entry into a putting contest!

Additional raffle tickets and putting contest entry may be purchased on site for $10.

Each finisher receives a medal and there are medals for the top three finishers in each age category.

Our host, the Rock Creek Country Club, has a bar and grill with drinks and food for purchase. Parking is free.

We encourage attendees to wear their finest dental-related attire!

Not in the Portland area or can't make it on October 18? There are virtual race opportunities! We also have options for teams to enter.

We are grateful to our major sponsors: BnK Construction and Permanente Dentistry (crown sponsors); and Columbia Healthcare Banking and Willamette Dental (molar sponsors)
