A single loop on a Pacific coastal headland above the Oregon Dunes
Other trail races within 136 miles
A single loop through Cape Mountain's finest trail network, starting from Horse Creek Campground and climbing through old-growth coastal rainforest to the Cape Mountain summit meadow. The course descends Berry Creek canyon, traverses the sweeping Nelson Ridge meadows with ocean and dune panoramas, and finishes with a forested ridgeline return. Flowing, well-drained singletrack with a creek crossing and manageable grades — an ideal introduction to Oregon Coast trail running.
