Part of the Trail Run Series

The Course
Starting and ending near the Mazama Community Center, the course begins by heading south through open fields with beautiful views on the community trail system. The course gains some elevation as it meanders through forested areas near Goat Creek. The last mile rejoins the meadow trails for the finish back at the Mazama Community Center. The dirt trail is relatively smooth and flat, but rocks and other obstacles exist.
