Admit it. The name of this race caught your eye! Whether you're a squirrel, nut-lover, or just plain curious, you really ought to Run for Your Nuts this year. This 5K in Mount Angel is tied in with the annual Hazelnut Festival and German Holiday Market. The affordable race fee even includes an entry to the festival. Mt. Angel is less than an hour from downtown Portland and is known for its ups and downs. Expect a mix of hills and flat on this challenging 5K course.
