Welcome to our biggest destination trail run of the year! Come out and enjoy a run in the woods with friends and a soak in the hot springs after! Details below:9:00 AM: Meet at Run Hub for a 9:15ish departure. Car pool options will be available.10:15 AM: Arrive at Belknap Hot Springs.

We will start at Belknap and run east on the famous McKenzie River trail. The trail is closed 5 miles up due to a bridge down, so the longest option this year will be a 10 mile out and back. If you wanted to run longer though you can always continue past the hot springs to the end of the trail and run back. That would get you an extra 3 plus miles for a total of over 13 miles. For those who want to run less simply just turn around early.After the run enjoy a one hour long soak at the Belknap Hot Springs. Cost is $8 per person. Towels are extra, so bring your own towel. *Normally we would be shuttled to start the run, making it point to point, but the fires during the late summer devastated this trail and they are still cleaning up and building bridges. Sections are still closed and will be closed until the summer. Can’t wait to see you all there! This has been our biggest run in the past. In 2019 we had 58 runners. Let’s enjoy these trails we are so lucky to have.
