Canby Dahlia Run Half Marathon & 10k - Canby (United States of America/Oregon)
At New Life Foursquare Church, the "Canby Charity Run Half Marathon" course starts off on Territorial Road and turns up the old Logging Road (this is closed to cars). This shaded path is flat and scenic. It loops around as you are running along the beautiful Willamette river. Once you come back down the loggin' road, the course hangs a right on Territorial Road again and goes west in town until Holly Street. After taking a right on Holly, the course then turns left onto 22nd Avenue where the views really come into play. Along this road, you will be treated to picturesque displays of the country's largest Dahlia fields. Swan Island Dahlias is the largest growers of cut dahlias in the United States of America, and they generously are allowing the course to run directly down one of their paths between two fields - Absolutely gorgeous! The course turns down Birch Street and meets back up with Territorial Road again and travels back through town to the logging road once again. Once at the logging road, the race turns right and you stay on the logging road and travel over Highway 99E via the loggin' bridge. This path takes you to the south end of Canby where you take a left on 13th. From here to the end of the race, the farmlands of the Willamette Valley will be your guide. After taking a left onto Mulino Road from 13th, the waving wheat fields will welcome you along the last three miles of the half marathon. A right turn onto Township road, and then a left onto Blount Road will show you rural farm life in Clackamas County. After taking a left off of Blount, follow Bremer Road where you veer right onto Haines Road. The last 1.5 miles is flat with filbert trees cheering you to the finish. The remaining half mile is a shaded welcome sight as you turn left onto Territorial Road again and a steep downhill stretch will propel you to the finish line back at the church where you started.
