Bob Ross virtual 5K – registration is now open.

Inspired by American painter and PBS television personality Bob Ross’ love of the outdoors, Oregon Parks Forever is participating in a virtual 5K event started six years ago to help plant trees in parks & forests.

Participants can  walk, hike, run, or roll to complete their 5K anywhere outdoors anytime between April 18-26 in celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day. Runners are encouraged to register by March 15th to ensure that your swag arrives before the event week. Registration will close on April 1 or when registrations are full.  Last year, we had to close registrations on March 25 when so many people signed up, SO DON’T WAIT!

For $36 per person, each participant will receive a keepsake Happy Little T-shirt, a commemorative bib number, a finisher’s medal and will plant 10 Trees in Oregon.
