Destination Trail Run: Larison Creek
2024-01-28 09:00 - 15:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
For this month’s destination trail run we’ll be heading to one of our favorite places: beautiful Oakridge, home of over 500 miles of trails. We’ll be going on a trail we haven’t done before as a Destination Trail Run: Larison Creek. This is a beautiful trail that hugs the Hills Creek Reservoir. It is an out and back trail that totals to exactly a 20k if you do the entire route. It’s a relatively flat trail with a pretty steep climb at the end. After the run we’ll meet at Three Legged Crane or The Campfire for some good food and drink.If you have never been on this trail before, this is a must do! The lush forest and easy rolling hills will make the miles fly by.Do you have a fear of getting lost on a trail? No fear here! This is the only trail in the area. There are no connecting trails. Just simply run, and turn back whenever you like. Most importantly, enjoy the trail!Details:9:00 AM-9:15 AM: Meet at Run Hub NW to carpool to the trail.10:15-10:30 AM: Meet at the Larison Creek Trailhead. Parking is limited so I recommend carpooling. Directions: From Eugene, go through the entire town of Oakridge and take a right on Kitson Spring Road and then another right on FR 21. You’ll be on this paved road for about 5 miles before taking a right and parking at the trailhead.12:30 PM-1:00 PM- Meet at Three Legged Crane Brewery or The Campfire.Campfire address: 47805 OR-58, Oakridge, OR 974633 Legged Crane address: 48329 E 1st St, Oakridge, OR 97463

This is a backyard destination trail run from Hendricks Park to Moon Mountain, with 1,050′ elevation gain and warm fall vibes. You’ll climb Ribbon Trail and dash over to Black Oak Basin. Then you’ll head up, down and around to Coryell Ridge, and get a fall morning view of Moon before looping back, down and around to Hendricks. After the run, we’ll head to Hideaway Bakery (3377 E Amazon Dr) for food and drink.
Our new trail run leader, James Wellington will be leading this month’s trail run. Welcome, James!
A no-drop run means we’ll be stopping as a group a few times along the way for everyone to regroup. If you’re planning to hike the route, feel free to bring a friend or save the route.
