Want to carry a bunch of water on your back, uphill? Heck yeah! The Sherpa Showdown has become almost as popular as the Volcanic race. This is the weekend when we hike water into the remote aid stations for the race. We'll feed you well afterwards and we promise you'll feel your butt muscles the […]
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. St. Helens on super technical terrain with non-stop views of what's left of her top as well as the neighboring Cascade mountains. The 25K gives you a good taste of the 50K, but […]
A favorite way to spend a weekday evening - racing trails with friends. The Bend Trail Series consists of four low-key races at different trailheads. Each race is between four and seven miles and the courses are unveiled the Monday before the race. Complete at least three of the races to be in the Series […]
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!
The NUT 50K & 17M race is on one of the prettiest trails you'll find in Oregon. Oh, it's also kinda tough as it is technical and the course it a point-to-point uphill one. The trail lays alongside the North Umpqua River where you'll pass waterfalls and have many moments of temptation to jump into […]

Trail racing in October, in the Tillamook Forest, with friends... sign me up! The Elk-Kings Trail Races are going to challenge you no matter which distance you choose. The 50K sticks to the Wilson River trail, but don't be lulled by that, it's tough. The 25K goes up and over both Elk and Kings mountains […]
Last person standing races are becoming very popular, so we made ours a bit harder. Instead of the usual 4-mile route, our Lastest Not Fastest course is 4.5 miles. Everyone heads out on the hour, every hour, until there's just one person left who can make the lap within the hour. How many miles do […]
