Run Wild on the Oregon Coast

Running is in our blood — and there’s no better way to welcome summer than with a sunset start, coastal miles, and a post-race party at The Wilds Taphouse & BBQ. Enjoy a free beer, grab a cold treat, and refuel from their limited runner-friendly menu available for purchase. Whether you’re chasing a goal or just showing up for the vibes, the Wilder Summer Solstice Run brings the community together to move, connect, and celebrate the season, Oregon Coast–style.

Here’s what’s waiting at the finish line:

Finish Line Festivities

Your race ends with music, beer, popsicles, and golden-hour vibes.

Say Hello, Summer. Hit the Trail.

Whether you're racing the sunset or out for a relaxed run, there's a distance for every kind of summer runner.

8-Miler

A scenic, sunset-powered challenge for runners ready to go the distance.
