Tillamook Burn

Immerse yourself in the lush wilderness of Oregon's Tillamook State Forest for the iconic Tillamook Burn, an enduring springtime trail running tradition hosted by Daybreak Racing. Nestled halfway between Portland and the coast, Reehers Camp serves as the starting point for this challenging yet rewarding race weekend.
On Saturday, runners tackle the 50-mile course, a classic point-to-point route that winds through the rugged Oregon Coast Range mountains. This grueling journey features over 9,000 feet of climbing and descending on pristine singletrack trails, punctuated by seven aid stations to keep you fueled for up to 14 hours.
Sunday brings the 55K race, a beautifully tough lollipop loop course that traverses the mountain divide with nearly 7,000 feet of ascent. Runners experience an enchanting mix of dense forest and towering waterfalls while enjoying five full aid stations along the way within a generous ten-hour time limit.
For those seeking an ultimate challenge, consider running both races over back-to-back days—the double event promises to be brutal yet incredibly rewarding. The course winds through lush second-growth forests and past haunting relics of Oregon's historic Tillamook Burn fires, offering a poignant connection between nature’s resilience and the enduring beauty of its rebirth.
