Storm King Trail Run

The Storm King Trail Half Race (formally Super Dave’s Down & Dirty Half) is a trail half and 10k that will explore the forest of Central Oregon at one of the best times of year. Fall color should be in all its glory and treat runners to a trail run to be remembered. The course is a mix of double track, single track, and a smidgen of horse trail. Lots of ups and downs to keep things interesting with lots of passing options on the most significant climbs.

This 13.1 mile course starts and finishes at the 7th Mountain Resort. With the exception of the parking area at the Inn itself, the course is all dirt. The course is made up of single track and dirt roads. Hills are of course on tap for this race. The first half is largely dirt roads with lots of room for passing. At the top of the climb you get a break with your second aid station and some sweet singletrack descending back towards the Inn of the Seventh. I won’t say it is all downhill back to the inn, but minus a surprise or two it is a negative split for sure. I think the course is best summed up by course record holder Max King who said when asked what he thought of the course he simply replied “tough”. Make no mistake this is a fun trail run with lots of character.

For safety reasons, if you cannot complete the course in under 4 hours you will be asked to stop and accept transport to the finish. Awards will be given to top three overall male and female as well as overall master, master male and female.
