Smith Rock Ascent 15M | 4M | Kids

Spend the weekend at one of the most scenic places in Oregon – Smith Rock State Park – with this Smith Rock race. With a 50K, 15M, and a 4M, there’s a trail race distance for everyone. This place is becoming very popular and you’ll see why. There are many trails in and around that state park that provide stunning views of the rock faces where you’ll see climbers scaling the tall walls, as well as vistas of the Three Sisters and Mt. Jefferson. You’ll get up high in all three races, where you see the grasslands around you. This race is a treat for your eyes, and for your legs.

ll others (15M and 4M racers and volunteers) will park at the state park. All runners, volunteers and spectators parking at Smith Rock State Park must have a valid day-use OPRD parking permit. These permits are for sale on site for $5.

Shuttle buses will leave from the Smith Rock Ranch to take 50K runners to the park from 6:15 am to 7:15 am. Don’t be late!
