Registration

Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon
Sunday September 2, 2012

2012 Registration opens Thursday December 15th

You must have a race bib registered in your name to compete in this race! The field for this event is limited to 2500 runners due to our commitment to minimize our impact in this beautiful area and to provide guests with a quality destination running experience. We offer three registration categories for the race; Half Marathon Individual, Half Marathon Team (6-20 members), and the 2-Person Relay. You may also register for event extras with your race registration, or separately. Some extras will require your race registration confirmation code.

Half Marathon

You must be a runner or fast walker able to keep a 16:00 per mile pace and finish in 3hr 30min or less to enter this 13.1 mile race. The minimum age requirement for the half marathon is 12 years. The course has a few rolling hills, with a minimum elevation of 161 ft. and a maximum of 299 ft., see course information for more details

Team Registration

Teams must consist of 6 or more runners and can be any combination of male and female runners. To register a team, first have a team captain register and create your team name. The captain will then email the team name to fellow team members who must register under the team category and team name, which will be displayed on a drop down menu.

Teams may have a maximum of 20 members, if you have over 20 members you must register as two separate teams. You MUST have 6 team members to qualify as a team and receive a $10 discount on the entry fee. If you do not have 6 members by the time registration is sold out, each member will charged an additional $20 and moved to the Individual category.

You will be scored both as an individual and a team member when entered on a team. The top 5 times from your team will be combined to get your total team time. All times are age and gender handicapped based on the standard USATF handicap system. Awards are given to the top two teams.

2-Person Relay

The 2-Person Relay team allows two runners to split the 13.1 mile distance. Run the first 6.1 miles to just beyond Abbey Rd. Farm or the second 7 mile leg into Carlton. Your team time is recorded by combining the two times. Your 2-person team must be able to complete the 13.1 mile course in 3 hr 30 min. To enter a relay team you must register both participants at the same time and submit a team name.

Half Marathon Race Extras

Destination Races and its local partners host a number of activities to compliment your experience in wine country. Race Extras are available only to registered runners and their guests, and you may select these extras during registration or you may purchase them separately, if you have already registered. These activities and extras typically sell out so we advise purchasing them well before the event. See the Race Extras page for details.

Transfer and Credit Policy

Refunds on your race registration are not allowed. However, if you are not able to run in the race you have two options.  You may transfer your registration to another individual by having them fill out a transfer form available for download on our website.  Online transfers must be completed at least 30 days prior to the event. If you wish to transfer a registration within 30 days of the event, it must be done at the race expo in person. Transfers cost $20 and must be completed by the person that is running in the race.  They must have your registration confirmation number or email to complete the transaction.  Upon payment they will be provided a new bib and packet. All paid race extras are also applied to the transfer.

Another option is to cancel your registration and receive a 50% credit (of your paid entry fee only, does not include race extras) that can be used at any Destination Races event that is within a 12 month period (registration for the race must still be open and not sold out).  You must process your cancellation at least 7 days prior to the race to be eligible for the 50% credit.  Below is a simple 3-step process for cancelations/credits:
