Heads up, Central Oregon riders!

A trail running event is taking place on Saturday, May 23rd starting at 6pm in the area

— roughly 50 runners, and it’s a last-person-standing format, so it could run well into the next day.

Biking is totally fine, just expect more foot traffic than usual. Share the trail, be courteous, and you’re good to go.

Good luck to all the runners out there — we love seeing the trails get used!
