2026 PORTLAND 3 BAYS RUNNING FESTIVAL

Welcome to the vibrant and scenic 3 Bays Running Festival, an annual celebration of endurance and community spirit. Nestled along picturesque coastal paths, this festival offers runners breathtaking views of crystal-clear waters and lush green landscapes.
The course weaves through three distinct bays, each with its own unique charm. Begin your journey at Bayview Park, where the sunlit trails offer a gentle start to your run. As you progress, the terrain gradually becomes more challenging as you navigate winding paths and small hills, providing an invigorating workout amidst nature’s beauty.
Midway through your route, you'll reach Seaside Cove, known for its stunning cliffs and rugged shoreline. This section challenges runners with slightly steeper inclines but rewards them with panoramic ocean vistas that make every step worthwhile. By the time you reach the third bay, you’ll find yourself in Tranquil Bay, where calm waters and serene surroundings offer a peaceful finish to your run.
The festival atmosphere is electric, with live music, local food stalls, and enthusiastic spectators cheering from sidelines lined with colorful tents and banners. Post-race activities include stretching areas, hydration stations, and refreshments, ensuring you can recover and enjoy the celebration as much as your race.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out on your fitness journey, this event promises an unforgettable experience that combines breathtaking scenery with friendly competition and camaraderie among participants.
