There are a bunch of races on the 4th of July. We try to get to as many as we can, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time in the week to get them all scheduled! If you are looking for some local races on your holiday, read below!
Neskowin 5k Runabout (Neskowin)
We are starting at the Neskowin Golf Course. It combines a “out and back,” “loop” and features more streets of Neskowin. We will start out at the golf course and head towards the beach on Amity. Turn north on Breakers and then back towards the Golf Course on Sheridan. From there the course will look similar to prior years as you head out to North Beach on Hawk Street. Right at the gate is the “Turnaround Tree” which must be rounded before heading back south on Hawk Street. There is a water station there to get you rehydrated. On the way back, the route turns right onto Corvallis Ave and follows it around the corner as it turns into Breakers Blvd. It continues to follow Breakers Blvd until a left turn on Yamhill Ave. Runners will then turn left onto Hawk Drive and then a quick right on Amity Ave through the finish line at the Golf Course! The course is just over 3.13 miles making it a tiny bit longer than a 3K, but it is nice and flat! You can find the route map here.
