Known for its wide sandy beaches, majestic evergreen forests and peaceful pace of life here along Oregon's stretch of the Pacific coastline -- which has earned it recognition as one of the country's top places to retire -- the central Oregon coastal town of Lincoln City plays host in 2012 to the fourth annual running of its half marathon event, officially titled the Lincoln City Half Marathon & 10K.
Run on an out-and-back loop course that takes runners along rural country roads, densely wooded forest areas, and through meadows and streams, the race starts and finishes at Wapiti Park, which lies on Drift Creek Road adjacent to Drift Creek County Park, just southeast of Lincoln City.
This part of the Oregon coast features some of the west coast's most dramatic natural beauty, and its stretches through Oregon are no exception. Following the start at the park, runners make their way along a combination of paved, two-lane rural roads with plenty of rolling hills, and some sections of the course are run on gravel surfaces.
The race is open to both runners and walkers, who are encourage to start their race at 8:00 AM, an hour ahead of the 9:00 AM starting time for runners in the half marathon. Water and refreshments will provided along the course, the organizers add, and runners can pick up their race packets on the morning of the race.
