Rise and Register: Silver Falls Trail Runs Open August 1 at 8AM!

**The Silver Falls Trail Runs are capped events and do sell out fast – seriously, set your alarms!**

One of the first running events I ever participated in was the Silver Falls Half Marathon. At that time, it was primarily a 13.1-mile race with a loyal and growing group of participants.

Fast forward to 2025, and this November will showcase the now-branded Silver Falls Trail Runs. This event sells out incredibly fast, spans three full days, and features five distances, from a 5k to a 50k. What a difference a dozen+ years make!

Even with the addition of days and races, this race still manages to have a local feel to it. They haven’t gone the way of national race company management and have instead showcased just how awesome a race can be.

Here is the schedule for 2025:

For those in the know, the race courses follow some of the most amazing trails in Oregon, if not the entire PNW. Each distance will get the experience of running near, and behind, some spectacular waterfalls.

Do yourself a favor and mark your calendars for August 1st, the date that registration opens for this year’s event. The events are all capped and I can state that the half fills ridiculously fast – and the rest may do the same. You won’t regret it.
