I’ve participated in the Silver Falls Trail Runs several years now, so I feel like I’m an expert on the subject. The two biggest things you need to know about this Run Wild Adventures race is that the weather is unpredictable and possibly horrible and that it might be one of the most beautiful races you will ever experience in Oregon. Here are my best tips and tricks for you if you’re up to the…
I ran the Silver Falls Half Marathon in 2018 and it has since become one of my absolute favorite races. So much so that I register for it every year and now make a camping weekend out of it with my family. The weather is typically not great, but the views make it 100% worth it.

On May 3rd in Lincoln City, Ascherl Industries will be putting on the 2015 Run the Devils Sand Box, which has a 3ish and 7ish (their terms) mile fun runs, with a walk at the shorter distance. Part of the Trail Challenge Series, both courses are an out and back on…
