YRun Dayton 5K

The YRun Dayton 5K / 1 Mile Fun Run is a community-focused running event held in Dayton, Oregon, starting and finishing at the historic Courthouse Square Park. The course is mostly flat, winding through Dayton neighborhoods with a moderate hill near mile 2, offering a scenic small-town atmosphere. The event features multiple races including a 5K, a 1-mile fun run, and free race options for Dayton students.

Organized by a Dayton school district-sponsored club, the race aims to unite the community through movement and supports K-12 running programs in local schools. Participants receive a free performance race t-shirt, and an after-party encourages runners to enjoy local shops and restaurants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
