New this year! We are offering an 8:30 start time for 1/2 marathoners who are concerned about finishing by 1:00 PM. The aid stations will not be manned until the 9:30 runners start, so you will need to carry enough hydration and nutrition to get to the third aid station at approximately 8 miles.

Race Information

This race is a hilly and scenic trail along the scenic Oregon Coast. A very challenging course for the longer distances and the views will take what breath you have left away. Seriously, this race has it all, killer hills through the woods, an amazing mostly flat cliff section where you’ll see sea lions, ocean rocks, the deep blue sea, and if you’re very lucky, a passing whale.

Packet pickup and start/finish line is at the gazebo on far south end of Sunset Bay. Packet pickup is race morning only. Please come at least 1/2 hour before your race start time. Sunset State Park is a very gracious host and we want to keep our welcome warm. Please do not park on the grass!

There will be water and Gatorade at the start/finish line and plenty of snacks at the finish. There is one aid station for the 15K and 1/2 marathon runners that will have water, gels, and other snacks. The 15K will pass the aid station twice and the 1/2 marathon will pass it 3 times. While we will have cups available, we encourage runners to carry a bottle to reduce waste. No littering on course! Please leave all waste at the aid station or carry it to the finish. Sunset Bay has been a gracious host for many years and we want to keep it beautiful.

There are restrooms at 4 miles for the 15 K and 1/2 Marathon participants.

The course isn’t on the road very much, but it is open to traffic, so be alert. This is a RRCA sanctioned event. For safety, NO headphones, rollerblades, skateboards (hey, you’re on trails, that’s not even possible), bicycles, animals, or jogging strollers are allowed during the race.

There is no cell-phone service at Sunset Bay.

Ribbons to top three winners overall and in each age-group.

Why?

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Marshfield High School Track and Cross Country Team. Go Pirates!
