Cape Mountain Trail Run (CMTR)
Race organizers reversed the course this year, sending the toughest part of the run to miles 9 and 10. Does this mean the course switches every five years? A little barbaric, given how painful those last two miles were, but this race was built to hurt so nevermind that. The best part of the CMTR is the scenery. 1,500 ft above the Ocean, with views of the Beach North of Florence..running through Coastal Rainforest. Incredible.
Butte to Butte is coming in two weeks. As a road race, the Butte is harder on the knees, but the community involvement, timing (July 4), and buzz of the B2B makes it Eugene’s perfect kick-off to another amazing Northwest summer.
