Smith Rock Ascent offers “Doubler” Prizes for runners completing back-to-back 50k and Half Marathon

A new race on the calendar this year is the Smith Rock Ascent Road Races, taking place on June 15, 2014 at Smith Rock State Park. Put on my Run Oregon's dear friends at Go Beyond Racing, this two day race offers trail races on Saturday the 14th, while Sunday's line-up is all on roads. Last year, they just offered the trail runs; the road races are brand-new this year. The Smith Rock Ascent Trail Runs include a 50k, a 15-Miler, a 4-Miler and a Kids Race on Saturday. The 50k is $85, the 15-Miler is $65, the 4-MIler is 35, and the Kids Race is free. The Smith Rock Ascent Road Runs include a Half Marathon, 10k and a 5k. The prices are $50, $40, and $25, respectively.

Patagonia tech shirts available for $30 for all runners, but if you complete the 50k and the Half Marathon, you’re in for a treat. You’ll earn a special shirt thanks to Fleet Feet Bend’s inspiration to reward those for whom 31 miles in a weekend isn’t enough. As a race sponsor, Fleet Feet is hosting packet pick-up for the Road Races and providing shoes and shirts as prizes.
