Free. You can start with nothing.
A point-to-point 20 miler from Tahkenitch Campground to Honeyman State Park, over forested singletrack, a short stretch of ocean beach and the main open dunes section.
Terrain alternates continuously: beach, sandy trail, open dunes and forested singletrack. Sand is firmer after steady rain and looser after dry or windy weather. Most of the climbing comes in the first three miles, and the rolling open dunes between aid stations 2 and 3 add more. The beach segment runs along the ocean: keep an eye on the water, never turn your back on it, and stay away from logs on the beach or in the surf.
Point-to-point trail races through the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, staged at Honeyman State Park just south of Florence, Oregon. The 50K, 20 Miler and 12K cross open sand dunes with tree islands, old growth coastal forest, stream fords and remote ocean beaches, and finish at East Woahink Day Use Area. All runners ride a shuttle bus to their start. The event raises money for Siuslaw High School's cross country and track programs.

These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
