Welcome to the Siuslaw Dunes, presented by Salomon! These fun, beautiful and very challenging trail runs offer early season, dog-friendly 50K and 25K races that traverse a wild tapestry of coastal terrain, including ancient open sand dunes with “tree islands”, old growth rainforest, stream fords and remote ocean beaches. The races start and finish at historic Honeyman State Park, located just south of old town Florence, Oregon, offering camping, lakeside charm and our gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. There is no other running event like this anywhere— we are overjoyed to offer this truly special, one-of-a-kind race opportunity!
BACKGROUND
Oregon’s central coast harbors a unique mosaic landscape of ancient forests, ocean and sand dune ecosystems known as the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Within the mighty Siuslaw National Forest (pronounced sigh-YEW-slaw), the ever-changing Oregon Dunes are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America, offering dynamic scenery as well as opportunities for both adventure and solitude.
GETTING HERE
The event is staged just 3 miles south of old town Florence, Oregon at the Cleawox Lake Day-Use Lodge at Honeyman State Park, about an hour’s drive west of Eugene on the Oregon Coast. Honeyman serves as our gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The Honeyman State Park entrance is on the west side of Hwy 101, then turn right after entering the park to get to the Cleawox Day Use Area.
Nearest major airports are Eugene (EUG) or Portland (PDX).

Stay and enjoy beautiful Cleawox Lake and Honeyman State Park while we cheer on all the race finishers! A post race meal and beverages are available for all participants and volunteers at the finish line area. Family and friends are welcome to eat and drink for a $10 cash contribution per person.
AWARDS
Every participant receives a sweet custom award as they finish their race. A raffle of some awesome sponsor swag will be held while runners are out on the course! Prizes will be given to raffle winners as they finish their race.
