Race Description
This challenging course covers 30 kilometers (18.6 miles), from Ferry Road Park in North Bend through the Coos Bay waterfront, around the bay through Eastside, and finishing back at Ferry Road Park. Run the whole thing yourself or form a 3-person team and make it a run-cheer-athon. The first leg is relatively flat, the second is moderately rolling, and the third is for hill lovers!
Note: prices listed are for the entire team. The team captain signs up and then team members join the team.
Be aware! The course is open to cars, which are bigger than you! Take a breather and let them pass!

Information about the area
We’re located on Oregon’s Adventure Coast, sheltered by undeveloped shoreline and surrounded by one of the largest estuaries in Oregon. Oystercatchers, egrets, herons, and many other birds stalk the mudflats of this estuary. Our costal community is home to a nationally acclaimed Art Museum, a fantastic microbrewery (7 Devils), many notable restaurants, several state and city parks, and endless opportunities for beach combing, fishing, crabbing, and paddling.
Visitors can make the most of the season’s warm (but not hot) sunny days and temperate evenings.
