Fireworks? Cool.
Running through Yacolt looking for Bigfoot? Way cooler.

The Bigfoot 5K & 10K is back July 4th in Yacolt, WA and it’s the kind of race that doesn’t take itself too seriously… but still gives you a great course and a reason to move before the BBQ.

Part of the full Rendezvous Days weekend and paired with the legendary Hellz Bellz Ultra, this is a whole experience, not just a race.

Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your questionable costume ideas.

Some women will race.

Some will walk every step with a friend.

Some are showing up after a hard year, a new season, or simply because they are finally ready to do something for themselves.

And every single one belongs here 💕

Girlfriends presented by Vancouver Clinic is not about pace. It is about community, encouragement, laughter, finish line hugs, and finding women who will cheer for you every step of the way.

So invite your sister. Your coworker. Your walking buddy. Your “maybe someday” friend.

Build your team. Find your people.

Maybe someday is now.

Set at beautiful Blue Lake Park, the Olympic course gives you the chance to push your limits while being part of one of Portland’s classic race weekends.

And when you’re done? Pasta, doughnuts, drinks, vendors, recovery support, and a full post-race celebration waiting for you.

Come race big with us on May 31.
