2027 Corvallis Half Marathon and 5K

Corvallis is a bike town, and its half marathon runs like one: the 13.1-mile "Tour de Corvallis" stays on paved roads, sidewalks and bike paths, with a mostly flat profile broken by two slow climbs and two matching descents — enough to keep you honest, not enough to stop you.

About 836 runners finished the most recent edition, and roughly a quarter of them come back in later years, a loyalty rate that says more about the day than any medal. The field is growing. Winning times sit near 69 minutes, so there's genuine pace at the front, but most of the morning belongs to runners chasing a personal best on a course that invites one.

The race benefits local Rotary clubs, and the hometown feel carries through: familiar volunteers, a friendly start, and a 5K billed as one of the flattest around. Race-day weather averages 40–55°F with barely a fifth of an inch of rain — Oregon spring that forgives a fast start. Race shirts are guaranteed only for entries through March 20.
