- Runners head up a steep hill at the start of the September 2019 Echo Sage Trail Run, near the Sno Road Vineyard, outside of Echo. Registration now is open for the 2021 event, which is Sept. 25.
The 5K/10K fun run/walk is the only fall Eastern Oregon trail race. A fun day is offered for all, even if not competing. Visitors are invited to hike the course while enjoying the local ridges and sights of the Sno Road Winery vineyard.
Presented by Echo Sage Trail Run and Eastern Oregon Chapter of Oregon Women for Agriculture, the event is Saturday, Sept. 25, with on-site registration beginning at 8 a.m. Those planning to participate must register in advance. The race fee is $25 for adults and $10 for youths. All proceeds go to the Eastern Chapter of Oregon Women for Agriculture scholarship fund.
Entirely on Lloyd and Lois Piercy’s farmland, the trail has been open to the public for the past 10 years. Local bike clubs, bike shops and volunteers have developed 25 miles of mountain bike trails.
