About the race
Sunset Bay Trail Runs takes place at Sunset Bay State Park in Coos Bay, Oregon and offers several trail distances along the coastal landscape.
- Half Marathon
- 15K
- 4 Mile
- 1 Mile Beach Fun-run
The course runs mostly on trails with wooded sections and a cliffside portion that follows the shoreline. Runners will encounter hilly terrain and a mostly flat cliff section with ocean views where sea lions and occasional whales may be visible. The route is not entirely closed to traffic, so participants should be alert when on open sections.
There is one aid station for the 15K and Half Marathon that provides water, gels, and snacks; 15K participants pass that station twice and Half Marathon participants pass it three times. Start and finish areas will offer water, Gatorade, and snacks at the finish. Restrooms are available at about 4 miles for 15K and Half Marathon runners. The event encourages runners to carry their own bottle to reduce waste and asks that all waste be left at the aid station or carried to the finish.
This is an RRCA sanctioned event. Packet pickup is race morning only at the gazebo on the south end of Sunset Bay. The event prohibits headphones, rollerblades, skateboards, bicycles, animals, and jogging strollers. Ribbons are awarded to the top three overall and top three in each age group. A sponsor will donate a gift card to a random finisher in each race; winners must be present at awards. Proceeds support the Marshfield High School Cross Country Team.
Pricing varies by membership and entry time: member, non member, student, and day of race rates apply. The Fun-run is free but requires registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
