The race takes place at Mt. Hood Skibowl. This winter ski and summer adventure park is in Government Camp, on Mt. Hood, in Oregon. It is just 55 miles/1.25 hours from Portland. Information about the course is on the Course page.

You can find lodging in Government Camp.
Carpooling is recommended. There is a Carpool Google sheet where those looking for a ride can post and those who can offer a ride and post. Connect here and save some gas and help the planet. Plus, this year especially, rental car prices are crazy high and this is a good way to avoid that cost for those traveling from out of town.
When you finish, you and your friends and family should plan to stay and play at Skibowl. All runners can get discounted admission to the adventure park that day – see your pre-race email for details on this. There are a ton of activities like the alpine slide, mini golf, ziplines, bungee trampoline, and more.
