Stub Stewart Trail Challenge
The Stub Stewart Trail Challenge is a trail race held at L.L. Stewart State Park in Buxton, OR on April 5, 2026. The course is a 6.5 mile loop that can be run multiple times to form different race distances.
Entrants may choose how many loops to complete on race day; the event historically offered a Quarter (one loop) and a Half (two loops) and this edition adds Three Quarter (three loops) and Full Marathon (four loops). Results reflect the distance each participant elects to finish.
The event fee is listed as $65 before 9/1 and $85 after that date. Top male and female finishers of each distance receive Golden Trucker awards, with eight awards expected across distances.
The trail surface varies through the course, moving from pavement on the Banks-Vernonia trail to unpaved roads, and includes gently rolling sections as well as steeper climbs. Trails can be muddy in this season, and segments change frequently, so runners encounter different surfaces and terrain within a lap.
