Autumn Leaves 50M/50K/30K
This event offers multiple running distances around Champoeg State Heritage Area near St. Paul, OR. The race uses a looped 10 km course with scenic views and a mix of paved bike path and dirt single track.
- 50 mile : 8 loops of the 10 km course
- 50 km : 5 loops of the 10 km course
- 30K : 3 loops with a later start
- Kids Run 1 km free for preregistered children or with a signed waiver
The 10 km loop is about 80% paved bike path and 20% dirt single track. The course is mostly flat with small rollers and is typically runnable in road shoes. Runners will pass two aid stations during each loop; the event is cupless so runners must bring a hydration pack, handheld, or silicone cup. A headlamp is required for the first lap because it will be dark.
Entry amenities include a hand selected vintage garment, well stocked ultra aid stations, downloadable race photographs, finishers awards, a covered drop area at the start and finish, and post race food and drink. The state park entrance fee is not included in race fees.
Pacer rules allow pacers for the final loops of the 50 km and 50 mile races; pacers must sign a waiver and wear a pacer bib and may not carry supplies for the runner. Support crew access is available at the start/finish and a mid-course aid station near Oak Grove.
Awards are given by finish place in men, women, and nonbinary divisions and in masters categories. Finish place is determined by crossing the finish line; laps are verified by timing mat or course marshal. A pregnancy deferral is available if requested before October 10, 2026. The event also operates a Pay It Forward scholarship fund and affirms lactation accommodations and gender inclusion policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
