Tackling Terrain at the 2025 Oxbow Trail Runs

Check out the Sandy River and run the 2025 Oxbow Trail Runs at the same time! This family-friendly event has three distances to choose from. The Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k will occur on Sunday April 27th, 2025 and will start at the Alder Picnic Area at Oxbow Regional Park near the river.

This race, brought to us by Northwest Dirt Churners, will be a cupless event, so be sure to bring something to hold your fluids in. The aid stations will have water and Honey Stinger electrolytes at the 2 mile turnaround and 9 mile point for the half distance.

Check in before the race, use the park restrooms, and fill your water bottles before taking off. The half will start at 9:00AM, the 10k at 9:20AM, and the 5k takes off last at 9:40AM. All distances will bring runners back to the Alder Picnic area, where finishers will get a cup and utensils for root beer floats. There will also be complimentary sandwiches (meat and vegan options) for all participants.

Participants and their families are encouraged to stick around after the run. There are horseshoe pits, play structures, and a trail down to the beach nearby. You can even make a weekend of it and reserve a camping spot for the weekend.
