Event Description

First Annual Willowcreek Dirt-Road Race! 

Come out to Willowcreek Oregon (12miles North of Vale) and experience the beauty of our small rural area. The course will start at the Willowcreek School, with plenty of parking, bathrooms, and room to warm-up. There's also a playground for kids before/during/or after the race (we are not responsible for watching your kids though while you race). 

The 10k &20K courses will have water/Gatorade/and Honey Stinger Gels for racers at 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 mile marks. 

The course features views of Cottonwood mountain, fields of crops, beef cows & horses, and potentially numerous wildlife! This time of year should still be fairly cool, though PLEASE plan for Mosquitos! (We will have a variety of repellents available, but bring your own if you are sensitive.) 

Though the course is open to track, there are few residents along the route and traffic will be minimal. 

The Willowcreek Store & Cafe will be open across the street for after race specials! And if any racers are interested Dairylain Farms will be giving tours of their robotic dairy facility at 11am (after racers have finished). 

All proceeds from this race go to the Steens Running Camp Fund for the Vale Cross Country Team. Any questions contact Mary Chamberlain: xccoachmary@gmail.com.

More Sponsors of the race to come along with t-shirt images. Check out our Facebook page for more up to date information.
