Congrats to all who ran with us this past weekend, including all of our amazing volunteers and crew who helped us get through another amazing year!

It’s always a whirlwind from the time setup begins until we are loaded and hauling everything away on Sunday evening. But seeing every one of you conquer this race, whether it’s the 5K, or the 50K, and whether you’re the winner, a mid-packer, or DFL…you set a goal, you showed up, you pushed yourself, and you finished what you started. You are all amazing and we are honored that you chose our event to be a part of your life’s journey.

The positive energy we experience and take away with us at the end of the race weekend is indescribable and we hope you felt that too. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, yet our love of trail running connects us all and that is why we do this.

We want to extend our thanks and gratitude to each and every one of you for choosing us and helping make this event so much fun at the 2025 Silver Falls Trail Races!

We hope to see you all back again in 2026!

Thank you so much,
Silver Falls Trail Runs
