Crown Stub 100
Buxton, United States • 4 Apr 2026
Crown Stub 100 - Buxton, OR
The event is a 100 mile ultramarathon held from a base at Stub Stewart State Park near Buxton, Oregon. Distances offered include:
- 100 Miler
- Royal Ultra Relay two-person team with one squire allowed
The course accumulates over 7,000 feet of elevation gain and runs on a mix of surfaces: primarily asphalt on the Banks Vernonia State Trail, hard-packed gravel on the Crown Zellerbach Trail, and about 10% on the park's dirt trails. The route follows a double out-and-back pattern from the park, beginning north on the Banks Vernonia Trail and routing through the City of Vernonia and around Vernonia Lake before joining the Crown Z Trail.
Runners follow the Crown Z east for roughly twenty miles before turning back toward the park and retracing the route. A sequence of turn points and trail changes includes the Stub Stewart Park crossing on the Banks Vernonia Trail (listed as Stubby AS mile 72), a southward 10-mile out-and-back to Banks, a right turn onto the Boomscooter Trail near mile 93.5, and a final lap of the 6.5 mile Stub Stewart Trail Challenge course before the finish. Finishers of the 100 mile distance receive a buckle.
The Royal Ultra Relay is new in 2026 and allows teams of two plus one squire. Divisions are Princes, Princesses, and Prince & Princess, with awards for creative team names and costumes. Exchange points, logistics, and team rules will be provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
