Course Description:  The race starts on the beach on the South side of Camp Magruder or the North side of Barview Jetty Park.  It will run along the beach for 1/3 of a mile for the 5k and 1/4 of a mile for the 3k.  It then runs on a coastal forest trail with a mixture of gravel, forest pine depris, and some sand.

At the 2 mile mark on the 5k course, the trail narrows along Smith Lake for 4/10 of a mile and finishes this stretch with a hard climb up a sand hill (elevation 100 feet, but very soft sand and very steep).  Once climbing and descending the sand hill, there is 6/10 of a mile to the finish.  Times will not be fast due to the sand on the beach and the sand hill, but cross country will rule.  Here is a video showing the Sand Hill.


The race actually takes place on 2 different properties:  Camp Magruder on the North end and Barview Jetty Park on the South end.  The race and parking can be accessed from both properties, although the majority of the race and activity will be centered at Camp Magruder.  To enter the Barview County Park, turn West onto Cedar Street from Hwy 101.  To enter Camp Magruder, turn West onto Old Pacific Highway from Hwy 101.  Below are addresses and maps of each of those properties.

Camp Magruder Address:  17450 Old Pacific Hwy, Rockaway Beach, OR 97136
