Runners will race through forest trails and behind waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park during an annual trail running event from Oct. 16 to Oct. 18.
Silver Falls Trail Runs will host five races for the 16th annual Silver Falls Trail Runs, which boast thousands of competitors each year. Registration is now open and anyone who wants to race should sign up quickly.
"This race has become a destination trail run with over 2,500 participants coming from over 30 states annually," Friends of Silver Falls, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the park, said in a statement.
Races take runners on different trails around the park, such as the Trail of Ten Falls and Canyon Trail. The races start at the South Falls Day Use Area located 16 miles southeast of Silverton. Entry for the races costs between $80 and $120.
The first event on Oct. 16 is a 5K race at 4:30 p.m. On Oct. 17, events include a 50K race at 7:30 a.m., a marathon at 8 a.m., and two waves of a 7 mile race at 9 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. Two half marathon waves will take off at 8 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. on Oct. 18.
