ORRC Vernonia Marathon
ORRC Vernonia Marathon is a marathon and half marathon held in Banks, US, in April.
Both distances run point to point and make use of the Banks-Vernonia State Trail, a 21 mile tree-lined path. The full marathon starts with a loop around Vernonia Lake before joining the paved trail. It climbs gently between roughly miles 9 and 13, then descends from mile 14 onwards. The half marathon begins at Stub Stewart State Park with a steep early drop and then keeps losing height gently towards the finish.
A long stretch of the route is closed to vehicles, although there are several road crossings along the way. Relay teams of two or four can share the marathon distance. Finishers are met at Banks Middle School with hot food and showers.
