As a two-time participant, I can say that Tillamook Burn Trail Run is the hardest race I have ever done. And it is by far the most memorable. When the event starts with an incline that I expected would end in snow, you know an adventure is ahead. In 2022, “The Burn” includes two race distances on two separate weekends: a 50K staring at 8am on Saturday, April 23rd, and then a 100-miler at 6am…
I just ran the slowest race of my life. It was my fault. I didn’t train hard enough, didn’t sleep or rest enough, and I was battling a sore hip flexor. So it wasn’t exactly shocking to come in towards the back of the pack, but it still kind of sucked. And before you stop reading this thinking that it sounds about as fun as a bag of poisonous snakes, let me tell you something…
Last year, I got bit by the ultra bug. My 1st was followed by my 2nd and 3rd and now here we are in 2019 and I’m surrounded by so many more options. The first one I’m planning for the new year is the 2019 Tillamook Burn. The 50 Miler will take place on Saturday, April 27th and the 50k will be on Sunday, April 28th. Both will be located in the stunning Tillamook State…
There are a lot of things to be excited about with the Ultramook race: it’s brand new this year, it’s a trail run, it’s an ultra, it’s in the ever-gorgeous coast range, it’s one of our featured races, and it’s from our friends who host the Three Capes Relay through their newly formed Ultimook non-profit. This event is to raise money for youth running via the Ultimook Track Club & Tillamook Distance Project. On July 8,…
The Tillamook State Forest is an oft-overlooked, yet incredibly rewarding resource for trail runners. It’s lush, rugged, and has the greenest greens you’ve ever seen, so this is definitely a race to put on your “must run” list! The Tillamook Burn Trail Run, hosted by our friends at Daybreak Racing, will be held in the ever beautiful Tillamook State Forest on April 28th and 29th, 2018. Unfortunately this year’s event is sold out (but you…
As my miles start to increase and my fitness level goes up (the benefits of dry summers), I am starting to think more and more about putting in work for an ultramarathon. There are so many great locations in Oregon to run one, and one that is super intriguing is Go Beyond Racing‘s Elk-Kings 25k & 50k – a jaunt on single track trails through the Tillamook State Forest. Most of us are familiar with the ultras…
Hey runners, are you ready to feel the burn?! The Tillamook Burn Trail Run is a beautiful race that allows you to get out of the city, but yet not too terribly far either. Be warned that this run is ultra distance race only (5ok & 50m), quite challenging, and very beautiful. It is located in the iconic and historic Tillamook Forest and the rugged course takes you on the Historic Tillamook Burn Trail with two race…
Go Beyond Racing presents another excellent opportunity to get in some stellar trail racing before winter arrives. On Saturday, October 17, 2015, choose to participate in the Elk-Kings 25k or 50k trail races, occurring in the gorgeous Tillamook State Forest. The 25k event begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Elk Creek Campground. You will need to take the shuttle to arrive to the 25k start line. Do not drive to the start line. Instead, park…
