Since Mt. Hood 50 began using a lottery for the 50-miler in 2015, we’ve offered the Friend Refund option. We will continue this program for the 2019 lottery. The Friend Refund gives you an out if you had planned to run the race with friends or family, and they didn’t get selected in the drawing. […]

Go Beyond Racing is always looking for ways to make our races more environmentally friendly. We are cupless at our aid stations; we use compostable flatware, silverware, and napkins; we recycle and compost a lot of garbage from our events; we donate to organizations that work to improve forests and trails; we are members of […]
