Regatta Run & Walk FAQs
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about the Regatta Run/Walk event.
Are kids 12 and under free? Do they need to register?
Yes, all kids 12 and under are FREE! If they are interested in receiving a race shirt and race bib for timing purposes, then they would need to pay the registration fee. However, we only offer shirt sizes down to a Youth Large. We also encourage kids from ages 4-12 to participate in the quarter-mile kids fun run. There is a free registration option on the Active.com registration site, so we can get a better head count of kids participating.
Can I register in person?
We highly encourage all participants to register online prior to the event, but in-person registration is available at both the race packet pickup events at Road Runner Sports in Tualatin as well as on race day morning beginning at 7:30am. Please arrive early if you are registering in person on race day. Registration will close at 8:45am. The cost is $45 (cash or card).
When is the race packet pickup event?
The race packet pickup event will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 12 to 7pm as well as Saturday, October 17, 2026 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Road Runner Sports in Tualatin.
What if I am unable to attend the race packet pickup event?
No problem! If you are unable to attend the race packet pickup event on the Thursday or Saturday prior to race day, you can still pick up your race shirt and bib on race day morning beginning at 7:30am at the registration booth. Registration will close at 8:45am. Please arrive early if registering in person or if picking up your race shirt and bib!
What time does the event start?
The Regatta Run and Walk will begin promptly at 9am on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Runners will be sent off first followed by walkers. There will also be a quarter-mile kids fun run prior to the race at 8:45am. The registration booth opens at 7:30am. Again, please arrive early if registering in person or if picking up your race shirt and bib!
Where do I park on race day?
There are several parking lots available. After unloading, we are encouraging participants and volunteers to park at one of the two lots on SW Boones Ferry Road: the Oregon Nurses Association Building (18965 SW Boones Ferry Road) or the Medical Office Building on the corner of Tualatin Road and SW Boones Ferry Road (across from the VFW Matthew Lembke Hall). Both parking lots have paths to Tualatin Community Park. There are also limited parking spots available at the Juanita Pohl Senior Center and main Tualatin Community Park lot for those who arrive early. If you arrive later, you may need to park at the WES lot near the old Haggen Shopping Center and walk down to the park.
Can I still receive my shirt after the event has concluded?
We cannot typically accommodate shipping you your shirt or arranging for pick up after the event. Shirts need to be picked up at the race packet pickup event on Thursday or Saturday before the race or on race day morning.
Do you offer refunds?
Once the event has concluded, we cannot offer refunds for any reason.
Where is the course?
This year’s course, start/finish line, and vendor village will now be located entirely on the other side of the train trestle at Tualatin Community Park and will take advantage of the recently finished paved loop at Cook Park. The course will actually be run counter clockwise (stay to the left!) and will greatly reduce the amount of two-way traffic. We are hopeful this will address virtually all of the main points of congestion experienced in the past! It will also open up additional parking in the main lot of Tualatin Community Park for those that arrive early. Therefore, when you arrive at TCP this year, head straight to the parking lot on the other side of the train trestle for an amazing event!
