Oregon Coast Adventure Time!

Welcome to the Siuslaw Dunes Trail Runs in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, staged just south of Florence at historic Honeyman State Park. These very challenging and scenic runs offer early season point-to-point 50K, 20 mile and 12K adventures that traverse a wild tapestry of coastal terrain, including ancient open sand dunes with “tree islands”, old growth rainforest, stream crossings and remote ocean beaches. This is a truly one-of-a-kind race opportunity that will challenge even the most seasoned runners!

Background

Oregon’s central coast harbors a mosaic landscape of ancient forests, Pacific shoreline and sand dune ecosystems known as the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Within the mighty Siuslaw National Forest (pronounced sigh-YEW-slaw), the ever-changing Oregon Dunes are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America, offering dynamic scenery as well as opportunities for both adventure and solitude.

Beneficiary

The event beneficiary is Siuslaw High School’s Cross Country and Track & Field programs in Florence, Oregon. Daybreak Racing’s Race Directors were born and raised in Florence, learned to run here and are alumni of Siuslaw High. We’re honored to give back to where it all started!
