Catherine Creek Classic

Catherine Creek Classic

The Catherine Creek Classic is truly a "classic". This event has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most scenic events around, and the support is truly top-notch.

EOST is helping out with registration and timing this year, but the basic flavor of the event remains the same. Proceeds go to assist the Union cross country program, which is coached by Steve Sheehy. Coach Sheehy and I ran cross country and track at Eastern Oregon University and I consider him a brother. Because of this, I consider it an honor for him to ask me to come on board with this event, which I have participated in several time myself.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Please take the bus to the start of each race. There is no parking available at either the half marathon start or at the 5K start. There is also no transportation back to the start after the race.

Water stations are located approximately every 3 miles. Carrying your own fluid is also a good idea. Though the start is usually fairly cool, the valley warms up rapidly and the second half of the race can be hot.

There are no bathrooms at the start of either race. However, half marathoners will have to chance to use the restrooms at Catherine Creek State Park on the bus trip to the start. These same restrooms are available to the half marathoners during the race, which is just past the 5 mile mark.
