Imagine running a beautiful, tree-lined course along the 21-mile Banks-Vernonia State Trail. Both events feature a gentle 7-mile, 400-foot downhill into Banks. This Boston Marathon qualifier is run on a point-to-point course, with 23 miles closed to vehicular traffic. The marathon starts in Vernonia and the half marathon in Stub Stewart State Park.

Run or walk the scenic Banks-Vernonia State Trail, for a full, half or 4-person relay.
