About this Event


ABOUT THE EVENT:

Cookie stations, carolers and holiday music on course, holiday costumes everywhere and a GREAT way to stay healthy and active during the winter! The Holiday Half, 15K, 10K, and 5K is the marquee regional winter event here in the Northwest. A rare course in North Portland and a fantastic venue at the Daimler Truck North America Headquarters.


LIMITED ENTRIES IN 2025! CAPPED AT 4,800.

Get in the holiday spirit and bookend your race season with Portland’s favorite winter Half Marathon, 15K , 10K, and 5K! All races start and finish at the beautiful LEED Platinum-certified Daimler Truck North America campus on Swan Island and feature carolers, music and cookies along the course and more holiday festivities at the finish line than you can shake a candy cane at! Sure, we spend nearly a year of planning and organizing an awesome race course through miles of city streets, but it's the FULL EXPERIENCE that sets the race apart! Read more below!

MEDALS:

Large, festive medals featuring your favorite Yeti and his new "van-life!"

LONG SLEEVE TECH SHIRTS: All registrants that sign up before the shirt deadline will get one of our popular long-sleeve tech shirts! These shirts are available to those that register before the shirt deadline and come in men’s and women’s sizing. Always a super cute logo and always a tech fabric!

AWESOME VENUE & STAGGERED STARTS: Over a dozen race waves to keep racers spread out and the race operating smoothly! Tents, heaters, and a beautiful setting along the river at Daimler HQ!

CAROLERS & CHEER STATIONS ON COURSE: Caroling and a variety of cheer and support groups will be scattered throughout the course to give you a hearty dose of holiday cheer as you pass by. From girl scouts, to youth groups, to school choir classes, the community will be bundled up and ready to cheer you on! All groups are fundraising groups that we love to donate to!

HOLIDAY COOKIE AID STATIONS: All race courses will feature a special “FREDDI’S COOKIE” station to provide you that little extra motivation to get through the course! Costumed purveyors of cookies will greet you with a platter full of cookies and a whole lotta cheer.

POST RACE ENTERTAINMENT: The finish venue is a holiday party! Tents at the finish venue create a wonderful and safe meeting place for post-race photo ops with Freddi and friends, conversation, beer drinking and more. Vendors selling products and giving away freebies will be there to peruse and investigate as you revel in a race well done.

REFRESHMENTS: Our friends at Migration Brewing will be there to serve you some of their award-winning brews. We will also have multiple food trucks at the finish venue for you to choose from (bring your wallet or card!)! HOT CHOCOLATE station will be returning for this year as well!

POST RACE MUSIC & DANCING: Our DJ will be spinning holiday beats all morning long inside our tents and outside at the start/finish line area. From classic holiday songs to some more upbeat music.

AWARDS CEREMONY and RANDOM DOOR PRIZES: There are no official awards ceremonies, but we will have age group winner awards available and will have results kiosks available as well. We provide prizes for FIRST place in each age group! Plus, raffle prizes!

COSTUME CONTEST: Costume contest competitions all morning long so nobody misses out. Head up to the stage, let them know you want to enter, and he’ll include you in the next “runway” exposition of costumes for the crowd. Team and individual contests offered.
