A northwest classic, the Mt Hood 50-miler and 50K gives racers a great experience of running on the Pacific Crest Trail. A highly supported and very fun event, you will want to do this one again and again. The 50M is a lottery and the 50K is not but sells out very quickly. We are expecting to NOT be able to put on the 25K this year, due to COVID pandemic capacity restrictions. If things improve, we'll add it back.

This is one of the toughest races you'll run, and you'll be so happy you did it. The Volcanic 50+K circumnavigates Mt.

New for 2021, this is a two-day event with the 50K on Saturday and the 25K on Sunday.

Run up the mountain and then right back down. The Gnar Gnar race is just 6 miles, but oof, it's not easy. There is almost 2,000 feet of gain and loss in this race. You reach the top in 3.5 miles and the bottom in 2.5 miles. Lung-burner going up and quad-burner coming down. Gnarly!
