Oronoco, United States • 2 Aug 2025
The Reggie Oeltjen Douglas Trail 11-Mile Race is an annual running event held on the scenic Douglas Trail, an asphalt rail-trail stretching from Northwest Rochester to Pine Island, Minnesota. Participants gather at the Douglas Trailhead in Oronoco to run an 11-mile out-and-back course shaded by a canopy of trees. Established in 1976 and renamed in 2017 to honor Reggie Oeltjen, a dedicated Rochester Running Club member, the race offers a welcoming atmosphere with race gifts, post-race refreshments, and hydrating watermelon. The trail is fairly flat and straight, with minimal road intersections, making it a pleasant and accessible race for runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
