Even if we don’t know each other, we know each other when we’re running. It’s going to be different speeds, but we’re all going through the same process of pain. We enjoy that.” “If somebody gets hurt, people stop by, just to check on you,” Arreola said. “Give you food if you need it,” added Wasserman. “I have had experiences where I ran out of water, and people share their water,” Arreola said. “You’re not going to find that in other races, like road races, because everyone is looking for the win.” Beyond the camaraderie, the races themselves are good excuses to get out into nature. “If it wasn’t for this race, we wouldn’t be here,” Arreola said. “We would never think to drive six hours to drive to these dunes. We would never do it. But because there’s a race, that’s what brings us here. And it’s just awesome. Looking at the lakes, the trees, the waterfalls, discovering more trails — Mother nature.” The runners felt that the sport needed more attention, as it’s growing in popularity. “When I started 15 years ago, there weren’t that many races,” Arreola said. “I feel like now, many people are finding the joy in races like this. It’s just so cool.” The Siuslaw Dunes Race is one of five events that Daybreak Racing hosts. The company’s founder, Jeremy Long, had been racing since he was a kid. “I grew up in Florence, and my brother and I have been running since middle school, into high school cross country and track,” Long said. “It was always a central part of my personality and lifestyle. Running was how I stayed fit and healthy. It was the best stress management, and it was a pretty cheap sport, other than shoes.” $10 from every entry fee of the Dunes race goes to the Siuslaw School District’s ath- letic program, to help pay for the kids to go to running camp. “I went to that camp, and it was one of those foundational experiences that helps frame your perspective of valuing running and being in the out- doors and just leading that healthy outdoor lifestyle,” Long said. He stuck with traditional marathons into his 20s but took a break when his kids were born. “And then in my 30s I dis- covered ultrarunning,” he said. “I just started organizing small runs, which led to big- ger ones, which eventually led to the first events I created five years ago.” He had always wanted to create a course in the Siuslaw region. “It’s a place I keep visiting,” Long said, pointing out that his family still lives in the area. “Everybody comes to the beach, and who doesn’t have a memory of camping at Honeyman State Park? But I’ve never heard of anyone — even as a runner — traversing these dunes, let alone doing it twice and another 15 miles sandwiched in between. I think it’s a cool draw for the community in general.” And the climate is perfect for out-of-season ultrarun- ning. One solution for oxygen at home, away, and for travel BETTER TV FOR LESS!

It was defi- nitely very intentional, host- ing this event during the end of winter.” The limit of the race of 250 runners, and tickets sold out three weeks ago. One of the other draws of the course was its difficulty. “Running on sand is hard,” Long said. “It’s not something people can train on, so it’s difficult to learn how to run on it efficiently. But I promot- ed it as something new, differ- ent — and difficult.” Something the runners appreciate. “I would recommend everybody do this,” Arreola said. “You don’t have to do 50K, there will be races that are shorter. But it’s just awe- some.” For more information on Daybreak Racing future run- ning events, visit https://www. daybreakracing.com/siuslaw- dunes-50k BI-MART stores Serious speed!
