Storm King Trail Half & 10K

Description:

Formerly Super Dave’s Down & Dirty Half. Trail half marathon & 10k on single track trails west of Bend, Oregon. 100% trail. 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 singltrack descending back towards the Inn of the Seventh. I won’t say it is all downhill back to the in 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.
