Stub Stewart Trail Challenge
The Stub Stewart Trail Challenge takes place at L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park in Buxton, Oregon on April 25, 2027. The event is built around a scenic 6.5 mile loop and offers multiple finish distance options on a single course. Entrants register for one race and may decide their distance on race day; official results reflect the distance actually completed.
Distances offered:
- Quarter Marathon
- Half Marathon
- Three-Quarter Marathon
- Marathon
Each loop passes through Pacific Northwest forests, along the paved Banks-Vernonia State Trail, over gravel roads, and onto winding forest trails with rolling terrain and punchy climbs. The course mixes surface types and scenery so laps feel varied.
The starting area and packet pick-up are located at the Hilltop Day-Use Area. Awards include Bivouac Golden Trucker Hats presented to the top male and female finishers in every distance. Entry fees are listed as follows: early registration $69, after February 1, 2026 $89, and race day registration $100. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
