About this race
We're very excited for another year of the Lyseth 5k Fun Run & Walk! Join us Saturday, November 14.
The course winds through quiet, less traveled roads of Portland's North Deering Neighborhoods. Walkers and runners alike will enjoy the community feel as neighborhood residents come out to cheer us on! Kids (K-5) can also enjoy a free 1/2 mile Fun Run to kick off the event.
This annual event helps the Lyseth Elementary School PTA raise money to support all the kids in the Lyseth Community via enrichment programs, classroom materials, special programs, field trips, and much more.
You can run or walk the course, or you can volunteer to be a part of this fun celebration. Click here to volunteer!
We hope you can join us on November 14th for this great community event.
