Scrambling for Health event set for Sept. 25

Lewis and Clark National Historical Park hosts the 7th annual South Slough Scramble on Sunday, September 25 at 9:00 a.m. All 5k/10k participants will get a finisher’s medal. There will also be a safety and health fair along with prize drawings. The start/finish line and the health fair will be located at the park’s Netul Landing, approximately 1½ miles south of Fort Clatsop.

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 are not accessible for most wheelchairs or strollers. No pets are allowed. Registration is from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. at Netul Landing. Participants younger than 18 must have their registration signed by a parent or guardian.

This third and final event in the 2016 Lewis & Clark Trail Series is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association, Providence Seaside Hospital, and Sunset Empire Parks & Recreation District.

The park is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The National Park Service is celebrating its centennial throughout 2016.
