Course, logistics and cause
The course is described as flat and fast on a paved running path with beach views. The 10K is an out-and-back course. The route is open to the public and will be shared with cyclists, other runners, and dog walkers. Water is provided near the 1-mile and 2-mile marks and at 10K turnaround points. Strollers and leashed dogs are allowed; stroller users are asked to start toward the back and use them at their own risk.
Pre-race packet pick-up is available the day before at a local retailer, and same-day packet pick-up and walk-up registration are offered at the race site. State Park parking requires a fee; limited metered and Pacific City parking are noted. Proceeds and donations support Miss Pam’s Ranch, including fundraising for an accessible restroom trailer and related accessibility projects. The event is scheduled to run rain or shine.
