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.
1/2 MARATHON:
COURSE MAP:
The Half Marathon Course is essentially a double loop on the Trail of Ten Falls starting from the Orchards Shelter. Linking up on the Canyon Trail, running in a clockwise direction. As you pass North Falls and climb the stairs, the trail will take a hard hair pin right turn. This will put you on the Rim Trail. Follow the signage along the Rim trail back to the start/finish line. After getting some aid from the station, you will follow the signage back through the park on onto the Trail of Ten Falls once again. The only change on the second loop is that you will be guided onto the Maple Ridge Trail which will link you back onto the Canyon Trail )
1/4 MARATHON:
COURSE MAP:
The Qtr Marathon is One Clockwise loop around the Trail of Ten Falls, starting and finishing at the Orchards Shelter. (Same as the first loop of the half marathon)
12 Mile Ruck Challenge:
COURSE MAP:
The Ruck Challenge follows the same route as the Half Marathon with one exception. (on the 2nd loop, you will be directed on to the Winter Trail. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TRAIL MARKINGS) This will shave off over one mile off the Half Marathon course.
