What Makes It Great

The Perpetua Coast Half Marathon runs 13.3 miles point-to-point from Cape Perpetua Campground to The Adobe Resort, climbing 2,500 feet before descending 2,600 feet to the Pacific coast. Runners shuttle from The Adobe to the start and spend the first 11 miles almost exclusively on singletrack, navigating significant climbs through old-growth rainforest with technical root and rock sections before cresting the Cape Perpetua headland. The final 2 miles cross Highway 101 and join the flat, fast Oregon Coast Trail along Yachats' coastal bluffs for a scenic sprint to the finish.
