👥 Teams

If you’re not in the hunt for individual glory, there will be a team race (5 runners to score) with male and female divisions. You must have 5 runners to complete a team. If you do not find a complete team by race day, you will be entered as an individual. In addition to team scoring, the team with the largest number of competitors will be recognized with an award.

💰 Fundraising

Help us continue to support causes near and dear to our BTC Community. In 2025, we are adding fundraising opportunities to support the Youth Track Foundation, as well as the BTC Youth Cross Country and Track programs. All donations will go directly toward supporting operational costs and scholarship opportunities for our youth program. You can have an impact even if you aren’t racing! Encourage family and friends to donate under your registration link.

Every year, the event also raises money for the Achon Uganda Children’s Fund (AUCF), an organization focused on providing improved healthcare, education and exposure to sport in Uganda communities. The event has supported the AUCF every year since its inaugural run in 2010, and we hope to continue to expand our donation in years to come.

🏅 About

Started in 2010, the Bowerman 5k is an annual road race held in the month of July at the Nike Campus in Beaverton, Oregon. The 5k is a great opportunity to get the whole family involved in a fun and active event. Our competitors include young kids, stroller walkers, competitive masters and elite runners, and we encourage all ages and abilities to come and join the fun. If you’re looking for a 5k personal best, the course is a fast one! Over the years, the race’s popularity has grown and in 2015 it was rated as one of the 7 Must-Do 5k Races in the United States by Competitor Magazine.
