Silver Falls Trail Challenge

Event Date(s): 3/10/2024 Silver Falls State Park – Sublimity, Oregon

If you have never been to Silver Falls State Park, you are in for a treat. If you have been before, you’re still in for a treat. There just ARE NOT ENOUGH ADJECTIVES to describe the PNW brand of beauty and mystique that is personified by Silver Falls State Park. Starting in the South Falls day use area, you’ll have the option of 1 loop around the Trail of 10 Falls for a quarter marathon or add an additional loop to complete the half-marathon. The chance to run behind and pass these picturesque falls is something you won’t soon forget. Silver Falls is truly one of the most epic places in the PNW and will stay with you long after race day.
