If you’re headed to the beach in July, consider running the 26th Annual Manzanita Beach Run on July 23rd. This is a true “beach run,” as participants will run along the hard-packed sand of Manzanita Beach. The out and back course takes runners and walkers out towards Nehalem Bay Jetty then turns around and takes them back to where they started. This course provides views of the ocean and Neahkanie Mountain.
After doing a short race preview for the Warrior Love Run at Nehalem Bay State Park on February 7th, I thought it would be a fun little race. There are a lot of fun, small races out there, so it initially didn’t temp me much since that’s not my typical distance and Manzanita is quite the drive for a 10K. I kept thinking about it, maybe because Matt was giving me a little push to go run it…
The 2nd Annual Warrior Love Run is a great excuse to make a trip to the beach. Running from Nehalem Bay State Park in Manzanita, this fun run offers a 5k and 10k on Sunday, February 7th. Both distances start at 10am and are chip timed by Scovel Racing. This is a perfect course for a PR since it’s flat and mostly paved. Both courses take advantage of paved trails through the park. It’s a gorgeous area…
