The Boring Marathon

The Boring Marathon The Boring Marathon, Half-Boring Half-Marathon & Constantly Boring 8K - Sunday, September 15, 2024

The Boring Marathon, Half-Boring Half-Marathon and Constantly Boring 8K races will take place on September 11, 2022. We will be starting and finishing at Boring Station Trailhead Park. Most of the marathon and all of the half and 8K are on the Springwater Trail. The marathon begins at the park and heads out along the Springwater Trail (paved pathway) until reaching Palmblad Road. Here, marathoners

turn right and head up the hill and around a quiet neighborhood on a wide shoulder and sleepy streets for a few miles, then back to the Springwater Trail. Once back to the trail, they will turn right and continue to historic downtown Gresham next to Main City Park and beyond until intersecting the Gresham-Fairview Trail near Cedarville. Marathoners will take a right and follow the Gresham-Fairview Trail to Division Street, then turnaround and head back to the Springwater Trail. Here they'll turn right and run to a turnaround and then repeat this same route back to Boring. The half marathon and 8K are much easier to figure out, because they are both just out and back routes on the Springwater Trail (no side roads). All races support the cross country and track teams at Barlow H.S. and West Orient Middle School and all proceeds go directly to these programs. Boring Sister City of Dull, Scotland - any resident of Dull, Scotland gets free registration (but you pay the travel)!

We are excited to see you all in just 5 days, but there is more you can do to help us and the running community. Bring your used running shoes to drop in one of the boxes at packet pickup on Saturday or the morning of the race. Those shoes will be sent to and will help others in developing countries with access to shoes they can run in.

Here is the 2024 Finisher Medal! The 2024 design was created by a local 6th grade student.

New for this year will be unique lanyards for each race. The marathon, half marathon, and 8k will each be a different color and have the specific race distance on them. In the past every lanyards just said Boring Marathon and the feedback we got from participants was helpful with this change.
