3.8 Mile Trail Race
9AM START: Individual 3.8 Mile Trail Race – COST is just $25 per entry. Our event is chip timed and includes two loops inside Mary S. Young Park. The first “upper” loop runs clockwise from the SE corner of the parking area. After about 1.3 miles, get ready to scramble as the trail turns down toward the banks of the Willamette River. Loop #2 includes some serious hills, a few stairs, deep canyons, and a super fast, gradual downhill finish.

West Linn Turkey Trot Trail Race
A note about the course: most of this trail and path is heavily covered by trees and so your GPS device will not measure accurately. For most of you, your GPS will read less distance than you have actually moved. Portions of the course have two-way Trot Traffic so make sure to keep your eyes peeled and STAY RIGHT as much as possible. Our official course will be measured with a certiified device and mile markers will indicate the actual miles (not the GPS miles). Gobble. Gobble. Trot!
