Sunset Bay Trail Runs

Race Overview

Hilly, scenic trail run along the scenic Oregon Coast. Sunset Bay Trail Runs feature very challenging courses, especially for the longer distances and the views will take what breath you have left away. Seriously, this race has it all, killer hills through the woods, and an amazing flat cliff section where you'll see sea lions, rocks, the deep blue sea, and if you’re very lucky, a passing whale. This is an amazing, not to be missed course.
