Local runner and race organizer Devin VansCoy will help lead our trail run this month. For more details about the Triple Summit Challenge, visit http://www.oakridgetriplesummitchallenge.com

Run details: From Greenwaters Park, run over the bridge and continue to stay right on the trail. Once you hit the gravel road about a half mile in, take a right on the gravel road. Follow the gravel road for about another half mile until you get to the Larison Rock Trailhead on the left. At this point you should have just over one mile under your feet. Once you hit the trail you will run up 4.5 miles to the summit. There are no other turns you can take, so just follow the trail up. About 4 miles up the trail you will hit a paved road. Cross the road and keep going up the trail for another half mile to the top of the rock. Once you get to the top there are great views of the forest below. You’ll return back down the trail the way you came.

Directions to trailhead: Carpool to Greenwaters Park in Oakridge. Drive through Oakridge on highway 58, past Rays, and past the bicycle shop. Greenwaters park will be on your right. Park in the parking lot there.

McKenzie River Trail Run & Raft
2017-07-29 07:30 - 17:00 | Run Hub Northwest, 515 High St, Eugene, OR, 97401, United States
This month, we’re offering a special destination trail run with a choose your adventure option of rafting the McKenzie River too! We’ll meet at the store at 7:30 a.m. and get rolling by 7:45 a.m. to head to Paradise Campground boat launch and arrive by 9:00 a.m.

Our friends at Horse Creek Lodge are offering shuttling up the river from Paradise so we can do a point-to-point run with options of 5 or 11 miles. Shuttling is $2. Please email reservations@horse-creek.com to reserve your spot on the bus!

After the 1-2+ hr trail run (depending which distance you choose), we’ll have lunch (bring your brown bag!) and then those who are up for rafting will suit up in booties and wet suits and get going around 12:30 p.m. The raft trip is about 2.5-3 hours of floating on the river and also includes snacks and a shuttle back to Paradise for $50. This is a $10 discount for our group.

There should be a decent amount of folks doing one or both options, so we can determine the carpool situation prior to leaving Run Hub.

**For those rafting with us, book your trip here.
Use code RHNWRAFT for the special pricing for the afternoon trip. You will sign up for the 1:30 option, even though our group is meeting at Paradise at 12:30. We’ll assume that those who are rafting will also be shuttling with us.**

*For those only shuttling with us for the run: email reservations@horse-creek.com.*

HOKA Clifton and Speedgoat Demo and Community Run
2017-07-12 18:00 - 19:00 | Run Hub Northwest, 515 High St, Eugene, OR, 97401, United States
Join us for HOKA demo night to test out the new Clifton 4 and the Speedgoat 2 (the newest trail shoe to hit our shelves)! You can’t go wrong with either of these options for extra cush on the road or trail. Alex, our HOKA rep will have both shoes available for you to try on the group run (3 or 5 miles). All paces are welcome!

Looking to replace your current trail shoes? The Speedgoat 2 has that awesome Vibram outsole to give you extra traction and confidence on the trails.

While the Clifton 4 is yet to be released (coming July 1), we have no doubt, it will be a fan favorite. The latest version will maintain its lightweight, but cushioned ride but be even more durable and have a more adaptable fit with an engineered mesh upper.

*Word on the street is we may also have a special GU/HOKA collaboration flavor available for sampling. Anyone like s’mores??
