Little Oregon Trail Run

Don't waste the energy going 2,252 miles to Oregon when you can get a taste of it right in Cleveland. This 12km (7.5 mile) race is dubbed 'Little Oregon' for the single track section that features rows of pine trees we naively but endearingly compare to the Northwest. Join us for the full race or sign up for the 5k option. 

The Starting Line is just south of South Mastick Picnic Area. Parking is available at South Mastick Picnic Area and a short walk to the starting line.
