The course

Where it goes multi-loop · 7 aid stations · rust marks a stop your crew can reach

Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file. Year of this file not known.

A 50K made of the 25K loop run twice, mostly singletrack through old growth coastal rainforest with creek crossings and views of the Pacific.

Trails were built for horses, so they drain well and the climbs and descents are neither terribly steep nor technical. Shallow tree roots and rocks appear in places. The main fork of Berry Creek is a 10 foot wide, 4-6 inch deep crossing on foot with no bridge. A runner not through Horse Creek Aid #3 by its cutoff can take a 25K finish time.

The race

What this one is

Cape Mountain Trail Runs are 50K, 25K and 10K loop races in the Siuslaw National Forest, 15 miles north of Florence on the Oregon coast. The courses run old growth rainforest, creek canyons and coastal headland meadows on dirt singletrack above the Pacific, from Horse Creek Campground.

Since 2003 the event has been a local fundraiser for the Siuslaw High School Cross Country program in Florence. It is the second of three races in the Oregon Coast Trail Series.
