If you’ve been to or read about any X-Dog event, you know that these aren’t ordinary road races. X-Dog has been organizing muddy adventure runs even before dirty runs became mainstream. Ole’s Assault is no different. The event website lists no distance, just an approximate finish time for most people (2-2.5hrs), and the location is described as “near Astoria”.
X-Dog events is known for putting on running events that are unlike most others. It’s much less about getting a new PR and finishing as fast as possible, but more about having a great time and making a day of it. McCubbin’s Gulch Scramble is no different.
What would spring be in the Pacific NW without a healthy dose of mud on your shoes, mud on your cars and even on your dogs? Mud, we have aplenty.
