Races this Week: May 1 – May 4, 2025

The first weekend of May is stacked with racing action, as the calendar explodes with a dozen events on Saturday alone—and four more on Sunday to keep the momentum rolling. Whether you’re into trails, beer-themed relays, superhero capes, or flat-and-fast 5Ks, there’s something for everyone.

Saturday features highlights like the Bend Beer Chase, a 55-mile relay through Central Oregon, and the rugged McDonald Forest 50K in Corvallis. On Sunday, big-city energy meets festive vibes with the Cinco de Mayo Half Marathon in Portland, while the Sisters Country trail races serve up alpine scenery.

From the coast to the Cascades, and small towns to big celebrations, this weekend is a sampler platter of the Oregon race season in full swing.
