Run For The Hills (OR)

Run For The Hills features scenic and challenging 30k, half marathon and 8k trail races through Bald Hill Park, Fitton Green Natural Area, Greenbelt Land Trust and Crestmont Land Trust in Corvallis, OR with great views and fun courses. Easy 2 mile walk/run almost entirely on smooth paved path (except for last bit across gravel parking lot to finish) and 1/4 mile kids run are fun for the entire family. Benefits the Greenbelt Land Trust trail fund.

The 30k trail course uses the entire half marathon course but adds a trip into to Cardwell Hill and Crestmont Trust areas for some awesome views, incorporating the Mulkey Ridge connector trail each way. The course will be challenging due to the hills, but the views and nice trails will make your work quite worth the effort.

The half marathon is juuuust a little shorter than the 30k course. It includes Bald Hill, Mulkey Ridge connector and Fitton Green. Most of the same views and it will feel like the same vert (if vert were real 😉).

The scenic 8K trail run consists of challenging hills and flat stretches in Bald Hill Park, with about 1.4 miles of paved path and 3.6 miles of dirt trails.

The noncompetitive 2mi run/walk is almost entirely on paved paths, ‘cept for the last little bit across the gravel parking lot to the finish.
The ¼ mile kids run begins on the bike path and continues across the gravel parking lot to the finish.

Most of the trails in the Corvallis area are maintained by volunteer groups like the Mary’s River Chapter of the Sierra Club, the Greenbelt, the Boy Scouts and many others. Proceeds of this event benefit the Greenbelt Land Trust Trail Fund. This fund helps purchase raw materials and equipment used for trail construction and maintenance by the volunteers who keep our trails safe and passable for users.

Over $64,000 has been raised in the last 15 years. Proceeds have been donated for gravel and supplies to support the City/County/CSC Youth Trail Crew that has worked on our entire trail system.
