ECEC Butterfly Run - Elkton, Oregon - Running

The ECEC Butterfly Run is a Running race in Elkton, Oregon consisting of a Kids Run/Fun Run and 5K.

Come enjoy the early summer setting for this year's 5K family-friendly Butterfly Run/Walk, including bursts of color along the scenic route. The course starts at ECEC's native plant garden, winds through Elkton on the riverwalk trail, crosses Elk Creek then returns to ECEC. Run or walk along the banks of the Umpqua River and celebrate through clouds of color, created at stations throughout the course by our enthusiastic volunteers. There will be bypass lanes at each site for runners who want to skip the color embellishment. Participants in the event are encouraged to wear eye protection. Awards will be presented to the first place finisher, male and female, in each of the two age groups: 40 & under and 41 & over. The Butterfly Run is preceded by a free Kids' Race, for youth 10 and under, on a supervised 1/4 mile loop through the ECEC park.
