HELPFUL TIPS

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes early
  • Kids are only allowed to go through the course once.
  • The Blender Dash is not timed and it is not a competitive race. Please do not push towards the front of the starting line.
  • Don’t like zombies? Kids have the option of taking a different path in the High Five Forest to encounter fun characters in inflatable costumes. A volunteer will be stationed at the split to help them decide which path to take.
  • Spectators are asked to stay off the course.
  • Parents of children in grades K-2 or children needing extra support, are encouraged to run with their child.
  • The course is around 1 mile in length, and stays within Tualatin Community Park. Course Map
  • Be prepared to get VERY wet, muddy, and colorful! Bring towels for the car ride home.
  • Do not wear new or slip on shoes! Slip on shoes will come off in the mud.
  • A Drop Off Zone will be available near the Trestle shelter where kids can be dropped off before the race. Parking is available in the City of Tualatin’s public parking lots, just a short walk from the park with ADA parking is available inside Tualatin Community Park. Parking and drop off locations.
  • If friends or siblings are in different grade groups and would like to start together, they should gather in the younger child’s grade group. Children must start with the color group they registered for. Switching will not be allowed on the day of the event.
  • Tualatin Community Park parking lot will be closed for the event. To find available parking see the parking map attached.
