August 2026 Races in Oregon & SW Washington

August is one of the busiest months on Oregon’s running calendar, with races happening nearly every weekend—and often during the week as well. Whether you’re chasing a PR, tackling a new distance, or simply looking for an excuse to explore a new part of the state, there’s no shortage of opportunities to pin on a bib.

One important note this year: wildfire season is already affecting parts of Oregon. While race directors work hard to keep events on schedule, conditions can change quickly. Be sure to check each race’s event page or social media channels for the latest updates on course conditions, air quality, schedule changes, or other modifications.
