The Harvest Classic
CVR members participate in a variety of running events in SW Washington. Whether you are an experienced runner or just starting out, it is always better with others!
One of the events we are heavily involved with is the Harvest Classic. The Harvest Classic offers a flat and fast course with scenic views of downtown and Lake Sacajawea.
Come set a new Personal Record and have some fun while running or walking a beautiful course, and raise funds and awareness to eliminate hunger in our community.
Parking
Participants and spectators must park at the Expo Center parking lot (grass field) south of the Farmer’s Market
Race Course
The Harvest Classic begins at the Life Works building at 906 New York Street in Longview.
REGULAR MEET UPS
If you've moved to our area and want to meet like-minded people or you just want to be social, Run Clubs are one of the best ways to do it.
With time to chat along the route, you might even end up enjoying a post-run drink with your fellow runners.
