Angry Owl Ultramarathons

South Central, United States • 9-10 Aug 2025

The Angry Owl Ultramarathons, held annually in Salem, Oregon, offer a unique timed running event featuring 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour race options. Set in Bush's Pasture Park, the course is a roughly one-mile loop combining hard-packed dirt, trail, grass, gravel, and some asphalt, providing a varied but non-technical running surface. The event emphasizes a low-key, supportive atmosphere where runners can challenge themselves, train, or simply enjoy the community.

Aid stations provide hydration and snacks, and participants can set up near the start/finish area. Each runner receives a custom cap, and local business prizes are awarded to top finishers. Spectators are welcome to support throughout the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
