The Squirrel Trail Run

The Squirrel Trail Run

The Squirrel Trail Run is a point-to-point trail event on the Mountains to Sea Trail, described as a roughly 20k route from the gate at the Falls Dam parking area to the Bayleaf Church Road trail crossing. The event is scheduled for January 2, 2027 and offers both a group run from the Falls Dam gate and the option to run independently using a published Strava route and segment.

Aid support is provided at the halfway point by the end of Possum Track Road, and a table will be available at the finish. Participants can choose an out-and-back called the Super Squirrel. The event is unsanctioned and described as a "fat ass" style run; it is rain or shine and participants run at their own risk.

Course notes describe four sections with mileages:

• Dam to Raven Ridge, 3.5 miles
• Raven Ridge to Possum Track, 2.5 miles
• Possum Track to Possum Track (Awesome Possum), 3 miles
• Possum Track to Bayleaf Church Road, 3 miles

Parking is available at the Falls Dam area with an additional lot across the street, and there is street parking near the finish at Bayleaf Church Road. A shuttle is offered for Sustainer Squirrels from the finish back to the start; RSVP is requested. Runners are advised to follow the white blaze of the Mountains to Sea Trail and to use route tools such as Strava, FarOut, or AllTrails for navigation.
