Mosi, thanks for posting this and setting a strong iunnagural time. Thanks to the C2C Trail Partnership for this amazing backyard resource. I enjoyed this variation and found it to be much more runnable than the hiking only variation. The single and double track on this variation has gradually improved over the last year which bodes well for the hiking only sections.
Truly love that you got out there and got after it! The C2C folks definitely did some amazing work to facilitate ease of access. You’ve shown the O&B is feasible and I’m looking forward to see what you and others throw down in the future. Keep venturing well out there and may our trails connect downrange. ??
Looking to take on this trail tomorrow (Sat), leaving from downtown Corvallis. My original plan was to stick with the C2Sea hiker route the whole way because I ran this trail last year and loved the single-track sections in the second half. However, not sure of the trail conditions after this last storm and since I will be solo, I may stick with the biker route after Harlan, which is the route I believe the others have done so far. I will be crewed by my husband. Weather is looking like a great day to run from Corvallis to the beach. Hoping for not too many downed trees out there.
Just submitted my attempt!
Thanks so much to the C2C crew for being out there doing trail maintenance. There were a lot of trees on the trail for about 4 miles, but it looks like they're working hard to fix that. I was chased by scary dogs for half a mile outside of Harlen, I would maybe bring a trekking pole to hold them back if I was doing it again.
Benjamin, you are truly a legend. I certainly didn't feel like heading back toward corvallis once I got the beach haha.
