We are excited to bring you the 17th annual "Buck Mountain Trail Run" with the new very scenic 4.5 mile single-track course and much less elevation gain than the old course. Same start/finish area as we all know and same start time 9am.
The course and timing will be open for 6 hours to allow runners to complete as many loops as they desire in that timeframe! Training for an ultra? Here's your opportunity! Only want to run the course once for 4.5 miles and be done? Perfect! Want to run a very fun and scenic Half Marathon? Awesome, run 3 loops and you got it! We are here for you and will time you every lap of the way and post results, individual lap times and pace after every loop is completed. Aid station at the start/finish of each loop on the course. We will have our usual spread of refreshments, food, beer and snacks for after you finish. Come enjoy a day with us at the beautiful and very scenic Silver Falls St. Park and explore some of the back country single track trails that the park has to offer.
