Lewis and Clark National Historical Park hosts the 9th annual South Clatsop Slough Scramble on National Public Lands Day. The start/finish line will be at the park’s Netul Landing, approximately 1½ miles south of Fort Clatsop. Free registration is from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at Netul Landing. Participants younger than 18, must have a parent or guardian sign their registration.

Come for either an approximately 5k walk/run or a roughly 10k run along the park’s trails. Both loops will take participants along the ups and downs of the South Slough Trail, into the coastal hills, and along the Lewis and Clark River. The routes cross a number of scenic boardwalks and bridges and are not accessible for most wheelchairs or strollers. Please, no pets on the course during this event. The first runners to complete each course will be awarded a prize. All 5k/10k participants will be entered in a prize drawing.
