First Responder’s Relay

This is the third year of our First Responder’s Marathon Relay created to honor all our first responders. We offer relays for those teams as small as two members up to nine members (with additional alternates), customized relay shirts, and the opportunity to compete within their profession as well as against other divisions to obtain the coveted 202 PeaceHealth Appletree First Responder Baton inspired by the logo created by PAL’s, the beneficiary of the race.

Sunset 5K

The Sunset 5K will offer a shorter distance for our friends, family, and others in the community who would like the opportunity to enjoy the racing experience. It will also serve as a pre-race shake-down for our Marathon and Half Marathon athletes and provides the opportunity for them to earn the coveted BEAST medal for an athlete who races both Saturday and Sunday.

Location Convenience

Since Vancouver WA is right across the river from Portland OR, you are within a 20-minute drive to the PDX International Airport and minutes away from the big city.

Historical Significance

WHY APPLETREE? Vancouver WA is known for its history including the Old Apple Tree Park, home of the Oldest Apple Tree in the Northwest and maybe even the entire Pacific West Coast. The APPLETREE Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K will celebrate all this history, capture the beauty of the Northwest and create a theme of all things ‘APPLE’.
