Hilly, scenic trail run along the scenic Oregon Coast. Sunset Bay Trail Runs feature very challenging courses, especially for the longer distances and the views will take what breath you have left away. Seriously, this race has it all, killer hills through the woods, and an amazing flat cliff section where you'll see sea lions, rocks, the deep blue sea, and if you're very lucky, a passing whale. This is an amazing, not to be missed course. Packet pickup and start/finish line is at the gazebo on far south end of Sunset Bay. Packet pickup is race morning only. Please come at least 1/2 hour before your race start time. Sunset State Park is a very gracious host and we want to keep our welcome warm. Please do not park on the grass! Half-marathoners must have reached the aid station after the first loop at Cape Arago by 10:45. This is at approximately 6.5 miles. That is an 18:28 minute mile, which is almost a fast walking pace. If you arrive at the aid station after that, we will switch you
