If you want to run less you can turn around at anytime, but I promise the views are worth the summit! After the run we will head to 3 Legged Crane Pub and Brewhouse (formerly known as Brewers Union Local 180) for a beer and lunch. All levels and abilities are invited! This is a preview run for Day 2 of the Oakridge Triple Summit Challenge. If you are interested in running or volunteering at the race there are still spots available.

Destination Trail Run: Middle Fork Willamette Trail
2021-10-30 08:00 - 13:00 | Run Hub Northwest, 515 High St, Eugene, OR, 97401, United States
For this month’s destination trail run, we are going to go to Oakridge. In my biased opinion, the best place for trails in the entire PNW, and possibly the nation! With over 500 miles of trails around the area you never have to stop exploring. This month we will be going on a new trail called the Middle Fork. It was a relatively flat trail, compared to Oakridge trail standards. It is over 30 miles long one way and hugs the Middle Fork Willamette River the entire way. We will start at Sand Prairie campground, which is 12 miles south on forest service road 21. It is an approximately a 70-minute drive from Run Hub. We will run south on the Middle Fork trail. Since this trail is a one way you can turn around whenever you like. We will eat lunch at Three Legged Crane Brewery in Oakridge after. Details below:

8:00 AM: Meet at Run Hub NW.8:15 AM: Car pool to Sand Prairie Campground.9:30 AM: Arrive at campground. Start run.12:00 PM: Meet at Three Legged Crane Brewery for lunch.

Hope to see you at Run Hub! I will bring a map for everyone to look at. It is a gorgeous trail and very runnable with little elevation gain.

(CANCELLED) Destination Trail Run: McKenzie River Trail with Topo Running!
2022-01-08 09:00 - 15:00 | Run Hub Northwest, 515 High St, Eugene, OR, 97401, United States
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. You can also meet us in the parking lot there at this time rather than carpool. Address: 59296 Belknap Hot Springs Rd, McKenzie Bridge, OR 97413.Run: Topo will be there for you to demo some shoes. 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.
