Run Whiskey Run
From South Coast Run Clubs Website:
RACE DESCRIPTION
Located roughly 20 miles south of Coos Bay, the region’s first single-track trail system is open year-round to mountain bikers, but for this race it will be reserved for those of us who shred at running pace.
We’ll start and finish at the main Whiskey Run Trailhead.
Our chosen section of Whiskey Run is shaded and sheltered, which means these trails are rolling, smooth, and oh so loamy.
Course options include the following. Note that projected distances and actual distances may vary, kinda like the amount of whiskey consumption you report to your doctor!
1.5 Mile (Shirley Temple)
A shorter loop, but still challenging. Great for walkers and adventurous families wishing to wet their whistles!
5 Mile (Whiskey Ginger)
A full loop on super-premium top-shelf trails, cheers!
10 Mile (Double Shot – two loops of Whiskey Ginger)
If one just isn’t enough, imbibe 2 full loops – stay thirsty, my friends!
Please note that all courses are 100% trail, so not stroller friendly. These are single-track trails and a dog can take you out. We love dogs, but please leave your dog at home!

Holiday Ride
Join us for our annual Holiday Ride where we shuttle Pine Grove, the longest descent on the Oregon Coast!
Pine Grove is a local favorite and widely regarded as the best downhill trail on the Oregon Coast, offering more than 6.5 miles of nearly all-downhill riding. Expect roots, rocks, a touch of exposure, and a mix of backcountry and flowy sections—plus plenty of incredible viewpoints. The trail ends where the Wild and Scenic Rogue and Illinois rivers meet, so anglers may want to pack a rod.
Ride Details
Meet at Cougar Lane Lodge in Agness at 9:30 a.m.
Rain or shine—these trails ride great in wet conditions (though you will get muddy!)
Helmets and proper riding gear required
Bring a change of clothes if it’s wet
WCTA will provide free shuttles (cash tips encouraged for volunteer drivers)
Intermediate skill level recommended
After the ride, the group will gather back at Cougar Lane Lodge for lunch and drinks. The lodge offers a full-service restaurant, lodging, and RV park—perfect for riders who want to stay overnight and enjoy some legendary BBQ.
This event is free for members though we do recommend tipping your volunteer shuttle drivers who don’t get to enjoy the ride. We ask that non members make a donation.

No experience needed, just show up ready to have fun and get your hands dirty! After the dig the club will lead a group ride on the trails so you can get your legs under you before race day. Come hang out even if you are not racing on Sunday!
Sunday, July 19 — Race Day
New for 2026, we are doing something we have never done before in the history of the Dirt Wave!
For the first time ever, riders will take on two different race courses in a single event. Your first run sends you down the beloved Gnome Wrecker, a black diamond dream of loamy tread, flowing berms, steep gradients, and technical features that will keep you on the edge of your saddle from start to finish.
Then, for your second run, we are sending you down Loam Wrecker, steep, loamy, and loaded with technical features that will demand everything you have got. Best combined time across both runs takes the win. Two iconic black diamond trails, one epic race day.
See you at the start line!

Trail Work Party - Brush Edition, Part Deux!
We will be clearing brush for our June work parties! This time of year, brush makes the trails NOT fun to ride, and more likely riders and their four-legged friends will get ticks.
The tool trailer will be on site, but if you have a weed eater, bring it along as we'll need as many as we can get!!
Please also bring sturdy, comfortable shoes and gloves as we will be working for about 2-3 hours. Also bring water, snacks, and your bike if you want to ride afterwards.
Plan to arrive by 9:45a so we can start working at 10a.
