Half Marathon Course Description
The Half Marathon Walk and Run begins on the grounds of Camas High School and proceeds northwest around scenic Lacamas Lake. The paved country roads are tree lined and quiet. The natural lake makes for a serene setting. At mile ~5.5 on the course the walkers and runners will reach Camas meadows drive and do a finger loop giving you beautiful views of the Camas Meadows Golf course. As you come back out of the loop, you will run down to the entrance of Heritage Trial. This 3.25 mile lone hard packed dirt trail has excellent footing and a few short and gradual hills. This trail takes participants right next to Lacamas Lake with views of Mt. Hood on its way along the southern shore. At the end of the trail, participants will again be on country roads for the last mile leading back to Camas High School. As a warning, from 12 – 12.5, you will have a pretty steep uphill climb, so save a little extra energy! The finish is on the track!
4-Mile Course Description
The 4-mile walk and run starts and finishes on the Camas High Track. As you head out of the school grounds, you will run east along a paved country road. The road will then take you to the East Entrance into Round Lake Park. At this point, you will be on a compact dirt road surrounded by trees. The road will take you to a trail the places you right above Round Lake giving you unbelievable views. At this point, the compact dirt road works its way downhill through wide switchback trails leading you down to the lake and then onto a paved road. This road will then take you to Everett St for a ¼ mile before you work your way gradually back up to Camas High school toward the finish.
