Embark on a truly unique and wild coastal adventure at the extraordinary Siuslaw Dunes Trail Runs on March 7, 2026. Set within the stunning Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, this event offers three point-to-point distances—a 12K, 20-miler, and a demanding 50K—that traverse a breathtaking mosaic of North America's largest coastal sand dunes, ancient rainforests, and remote ocean beaches. Each course is a challenging test of versatility, requiring runners to adapt to shifting sands, forested single-track, and potential stream crossings, all while surrounded by the dynamic and ever-changing scenery of the Siuslaw National Forest. Organized by Daybreak Racing, a company founded by local Florence alumni, the event is a heartfelt fundraiser supporting Siuslaw High School's cross-country and track programs.
The 50K, in particular, is renowned as a one-of-a-kind, early-season challenge that pushes even seasoned runners with its diverse terrain and approximately 2,100 feet of ascent. The journey is as rewarding as it is difficult, offering moments of profound solitude and epic vistas that are impossible to find elsewhere. More than a race, it's a pilgrimage through a legendary landscape, fostering a deep connection to the raw power and beauty of the Pacific Coast. Prepare for an unforgettable day where the spirit of adventure is your constant companion, and every sandy, forested, windswept mile contributes to a vital local cause.
