Half Marathon races near Corvallis

The St. Patrick's Spring Fling Trail Run is a March race held at Alsea Falls in Oregon, offering half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. Starts are staggered in the morning, with the half marathon beginning first, followed by the 10K, and then the 5K. Packet pickup begins after 8:00 a.m., and the 5K is limited to 50 runners. The half marathon provides an early start for walkers and slower runners needing more time to reach the mid-course cutoff. Participants unsure about reaching the checkpoint near mile 7 by 12:30 p.m. should request this early start on race day. Volunteers assisting with parking or registration receive a free race entry, sweep runners get an entry to the Marys Peak Trail Run, and a pint glass is included with each registration.

The courses are challenging, with aid stations available for those running the longer distances. The event attracts a broad community of participants, not just specialists, and concludes with a finish line gathering.
