The Newberg Pride 5K run/walk returns to Newberg, Oregon on Sunday, June 13th, offering a vibrant celebration of community pride in the heart of Wine Country. The event begins at 9:00am sharp and is hosted by City Park, located just off Main Street, where runners will start their journey through the town's picturesque streets.
Race morning finds participants navigating firm but slightly soft trails that wind through the park’s lush greenery. As runners push forward on this five-kilometer course, they’ll be surrounded by a blend of natural beauty and local charm, with landmarks like City Hall visible in the distance. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as friends and family line the streets to cheer for participants.
This 5K has been running strong since its inception, becoming an integral part of Newberg's summer calendar. In previous years, hundreds have gathered not just for a race but to support a cause close to many hearts: the PFLAG Scholarship Fund. This fund helps high school seniors across Wine Country pursue their educational dreams, making this event more than just a 5K—it’s a community effort that fosters inclusion and support.
The course venue spans City Park's firm yet slightly soft trails, offering a steady pace through winding paths and open fields. Runners will start at the park entrance on Main Street before heading west towards downtown Newberg. The finish line is back in City Park where participants can enjoy post-race festivities including live music, food trucks, and beer tents.
Weather conditions for June are typically moderate with an UV index of 5.6, indicating a need to wear sunscreen while the temperature hovers around comfortable levels during race time. Runners should prepare for mild humidity but little chance of rain or strong winds on this day.
