Race Preview: Canby 5K & 10K for Young Life Kids

The Canby 5k and 10k for Young Life takes place on Saturday, June 13th. The 10:01am start time is later than many other races, which makes it easy to get to after breakfast. Proceeds from the race benefit Young Life camp scholarships as well as the Canby High School track & field and cross country teams. 

The race starts and ends at Canby’s Wait Park, which will provide lots of space for participants and spectators to mill about, as well as a playground for waiting kids. The 5k route stays on streets and sidewalks through neighborhoods, while the 10k route loops around the Willamette Valley Country Club, follows along the Willamette for a while and past fields and farms before re-joining the 5k route for the final mile.

After the race, participants can look forward to BBQ and music as well as a bounce house for the younger ones. For up to date information, follow the event on Facebook.
