Matt participated in this in 2019, and had this to say:
Though I have spent limited time running in Springfield, I actually generally knew what the road course was going to look like. A few months back, I did a little runsploring and stumbled upon this spot and vowed to return at some point to experience the awesomeness again. I didn’t necessarily think it would be at this event specifically, but I’m glad it was. The race started at Dorris Ranch, a great spot to park and explore the entirety of the trail system. course was a simple out-and-back on the Middle Fork Path, which runs alongside the middle fork of the Willamette River and provided some amazing views.
