Here is the layout of the Annual Butte to Butte. The USATF sanctioned and certified 10k will begin at Spencer Butte Middle School before turning up Donald Street, which has a pretty impressive hill to climb. Once you make it to the top, you’ll cruise to the finish line via a downhill, then a flat trek to the finish line on 5th street between High and Pearl. The 5k (also sanctioned and certified) start/finish line is at 5th between High and Pearl, with and out-and-back route down High Street and Amazon Parkway, and finally looping back at 24th. For those participating in the 4 Mile Mayor’s Fitness Walk, this course will follow the flat portions of the Butte to Butte course, with a start at Spencer Butte Middle School and heading east. The walk will finish on 5th between High and Pearl. Aid stations will be present on the various courses for participants. No dogs allowed, but strollers welcome. And teams are encouraged to participate in the team competition. Course maps can be found on the website or here.
