Twisted Pine Run
Cross-country running, Oregon Coast style.
Twisted Pine is an end-of-summer run through the trails, shore pines, sand and coastal landscape of South Beach State Park.
The three distances share the same core course, then branch as the races get longer. Expect rolling terrain, a relaxed local feel, and plenty of reasons to hang around the finish after your run.
This is the 10th Annual Twisted Pine Run, produced by Ardor Adventures.
