One of the most beautiful sights in Newport, Oregon is the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Spanning out into the water, you could image sitting and watching the waves crash underneath all day. After you finish your run of course. 🙂 For the Newport Shamrock Run, you get to start at Rogue Brewery and finish under the bridge (the after party will be at one of those two places depending on the weather). There are two distance…

E.P. “Mac” McKean-Smith was known to the Coquille area as a runner who ran into his 80’s. He was well known, so much that the South Coast Running Club named a race after him.

This is one of the clubs most popular runs, and every year, people will come and share stories about Mac, who often also hosted at the…

In a running world where most races will cost you more than your weekly grocery budget for a family of four, it is amazing to find a race that instead costs about three coffee drive-thru’s. The 4-mile, 15K, and half marathon distances at Sunset Bay Trail Runs are just $25, and even cheaper if you are a student or SCRC member. $25 to run through forest trails along the Oregon Coast. The race directors have…

https://www.prefontainerun.com/images/new_track_lg.jpg After I started running, the first athlete’s name that I learned was Steve Prefontaine. An athlete from Oregon, the 24-year-old died while an American running elite, and would become a legend. Pre, as he is often called, held multiple track records and was still developing as an athlete. He remains a name known throughout Oregon running community as a story of what could have been. That vision of potential is a perfect way to…

“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” Words from a famous book that English teachers require, and that can often reflect the joy and pain of running. For this hilly run by the South Coast Running Club, you might be having lots of best and worst times while going up and down all those hills. Run of Two Cities was the club’s original race and apparently a favorite for Pre…

Mac’s Run 5K and 10K, hosted by the South Coast Running Club, will be held on Saturday, December 8, 2018 and will once again be a challenging and hilly course with awesome ocean views! The entire course is paved, so fortunately (or unfortunately!?) there is no beach running. Registration is allowed on race day, so you can show up early to Sunset Bay State Park, find the yurt near the bathrooms at the south end…
