Operation Graduation 5k Elf Run

On December 5, 2026, Irrigon's Event Plaza (420 NE Main) hosts the fourth annual Operation Graduation Elf Run, welcoming runners of all ages to participate in this festive 5K fun run. The event kicks off at 9am with a pancake breakfast available from 8am for early arrivals looking to fuel up before the race. Participants can pre-register until November 30th for $20 and secure a commemorative t-shirt for an additional $12, while on-site registration costs $25 without a shirt.
The untimed run encourages everyone—from joggers to walkers—to enjoy the holiday spirit in Irrigon. The top costume will receive a Java Junkies gift card and cup as a special prize, adding an extra layer of fun and creativity to the event. Medals are awarded to the first five finishers, celebrating their efforts regardless of time.
Join the community for this heartwarming tradition that supports Operation Graduation, raising funds specifically for the senior class of Irrigon High School's future endeavors.
The Elf Run promises an engaging atmosphere with scenic views and a sense of camaraderie among participants.
