course information
Course Description & Maps
This annual trail running classic covers many scenic segments of the Ridgeline Trail in South Eugene. See current course configurations on uploaded maps above. Both distances will again start at Blanton Trailhead and both finish at Frank Kinney Park.
Shuttles & Clothing Van
There is plenty of parking in adjacent neighborhoods to the finish line and shuttle pick-up. Shuttles will begin leaving Frank Kinney Pak at 7AM Portable toilet access available at trailhead.
Again - please do not plan on parking at the start of your event - there is no parking available, nor will there be any shuttles running after your race has started to take you back after you finish. Being dropped off is encouraged if not riding the shuttle.
Please defer to 20K runners to board shuttles first if taking shuttle after 7:30AM; the 10K starts 15 minutes after the 20K.
Participants will be allowed to drop their clothing bags in a van at the start line. Please make sure names and bib numbers are clearly displayed on clothing bags - we are not responsible for lost items. The van will load participant gear bags at the start, then drive them to the finish line continuously, as the shuttle will be making multiple trips. Extra clothing bags will be available at the packet pickup staging area.
Aid Stations
Water, electrolyte beverage and light snacks will be available at the following mile marks for both distances: 1.8m, 3.9m, 5.5m, 8m.
Road Crossings: Most aid stations are at sections of the course where the trail either crosses a road or turns to follow a road for a short distance - please use caution on all surfaces, being aware of traffic. 20K runners must run against traffic for a short section down Dillard Road prior to turning left, back onto the Ridgeline Trail connector across the street from the Mt. Baldy Kiosk.
