Bristow Trail Runs

Directions: Take I-5 to Exit #188 (Hiway 58 towards Oakridge). Take Hiway 58 for 8.5 miles to Rattlesnake Road. Turn left, on Rattlesnake and go .2 mile to Wheeler Road. Turn right on Wheeler and go .7 mile to the entrance to the park at the second left, past the equestrian parking area. Watch for signs to Elijah Bristow State Park.

Courses: The course consists of a 5.2 mile loop, all on single-track trails. The course is entirely flat, on trails adjacent to the Willamette River. Most sections of the course are wooded, and a few stream crossings (5-10 meters long and less than a foot deep) are possible, depending on the water level of the river. The 50K will cover the loop 6 times, the 25K will cover the loop 3 times, the 10M will cover the loop twice (yes, that makes the distance 10.4 miles), and the 5M will cover the loop once (actually 5.2 miles).
