Yes, hauling water uphill to an aid station is fun. And of course it is a competition too. Each year a bunch of strong-backed people hike water to the Ape Canyon and Toutle aid stations on the Volcanic 50 course. The race is remote and you cannot drive to the aid stations, so this is how we get the supplies there. You can win a free race entry. Just be the person who carries the most weight on your back,…

A rough and rugged race where you run all the way around an active volcano! Sounds amazing, doesn't it. It is. The 50K race is 32 miles and will feel more like 50 miles. But it is so worth it. You'll have stunning views of Mt. St. Helens as you make your way around her. There are four aid stations on the course to support your efforts in this challenging and very rewarding race. The brand-new 25K provides some of…

Seriously! How could six miles that involves running up and down a ski resort be so fun? This race debuted last year and was definitely a favorite. People finished with giant smiles, asking if we were going to put it on again in 2019. The course is up Mt. Hood Skibowl for 3.5 miles and then right back down in 2.5 miles. Steep, with 1,900 feet of gain in that short distance. Brought to you by Nike Trail Running!

After a last-minute cancellation in 2017 due to forest fires, and then a year-off so the trails could be repaired, the NUT IS BACK! This race is 'brutiful' and we are not joking about that. It is for those experienced ultrarunners looking to push themselves. The trail is gorgeous. We aren't kidding about that either. You will be shocked at the beauty of the North Umpqua river and the scenery all around you. The trail is technical, with many rocky…

This race is in the mountains, pretty remote, and will give you an experience you'll never forget.
