More details

Getting to the start

No rail; TriMet bus Line 30 has stops in the general Boring area, but downtown Boring was removed from the formal TriMet service district in 2012, so scheduled coverage is limited/unreliable

Date confirmed as Sept 13, 2026 (13th annual edition) via boringmarathon.
