Smith Rock Road Half Marathon & 10K

Dates

May

Smith Rock Road Race is a fun and scenic race with two distances that provide amazing views of the Cascade Mountains, the sheer rock faces at Smith Rock State Park and the unique beauty of the area. Both courses are fast with minimal elevation change. The race takes runners on an out-and-back loop route that starts and finishes inside Oregon’s Smith Rock State Park, where visitors are as likely to see golden eagles, falcons, river otters, mule deer and beaver along the miles of hiking trails that wind through the park’s deep river canyons. Go Beyond Racing LLC was formed in 2013, and produces over three dozen events each year, with new races always in the works.
