Stub Stewart Trail Challenge
The Stub Stewart Trail Challenge is a trail running event on April 25, 2027 at L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park in Buxton, Oregon. The course uses a 6.5 mile loop and offers four distance options based on how many laps a participant completes. Entrants register for one race and may decide the final distance on race day; official results reflect the distance completed.
The loop passes through Pacific Northwest forest, follows the paved Banks-Vernonia State Trail, crosses gravel roads, and includes winding forest trails with rolling terrain and short, steep climbs. The course layout permits participants to continue for additional laps or finish at the end of a lap without penalty.
Distances offered:
- Quarter Marathon
- Half Marathon
- Three-Quarter Marathon
- Marathon
Packet pick-up is at the Hilltop Day-Use Area Shelter. Entry fees are listed as Early Registration $69, After February 1, 2026 $89, and Race Day Registration $100. Bivouac Golden Trucker Hats are awarded to the top male and female finishers in every distance. The event emphasizes flexible distance choice by lap completion.
