Larison Rock Destination Trail Run
September 30, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
On Saturday, September 30 @ 9:00 am, join us for a Larison Rock Trail run in Oakridge, OR! There will be options to run 5-11 miles (or anywhere in between). Larison Rock Trail is a single track trail in among old growth forest with decent climbing (2-3,000 ft). If you reach the summit/rock, you’ll be rewarded with great views of the forest below.
If you’d like to carpool from Run Hub, please meet at the store at 8:00 a.m. Please bring food and water. For those interested, we may stop at Brewer’s Union if it’s open after we’re finished.
If you’re interested in one, two or all three days of the Oakridge Triple Summit Challenge on Oct 13-15, this run will be a good preview of what you’ll encounter at the Triple Summit. 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.
