The trails of Forest Park are a real treasure for runners and an opportunity to run a race on them shouldn’t be missed. The only 50K held in Portland, the Stumptown Trail Runs route will include everyone’s favorite – Wildwood Trail – but also some lesser traveled and less well-known paths, with approximately 4,000′ of elevation gain.
The Stumptown Trail Runs half marathon is a fun, challenging and well-supported race that includes beautiful trails and lots of friends and family. These are running events; not walking races.
Both races support the Forest Park Conservancy again this year.

Optional shirt is available for purchase during registration. Shirts are available until April 22.
Day of Race Registration: We will open spots up race morning, to offset the no shows. Come to the race during the bib pickup time to sign up if you want to try for a no show spot. If there are no shows, we’ll randomly select people from that sign up list starting at 7:30 until we reach capacity. Please bring cash as we won’t have time to process credit cards at that point. This applies even if you are on the wait list, as we won’t process the wait list invites so your card won’t get charged by Ultrasignup.
Please note that there are no transfers to other runners. If you need to cancel your registration and it’s more than 30 days prior to the race, you will receive a 50% credit toward a future Go Beyond Racing race. If your cancellation is 30 days or less from race day, there is no credit, no refund, or no transfer. See our full cancellation policy for details.
May 23, 2020 – HALF MARATHON
May 25, 2020 – 50K
We’ll treat all racers to a post-race food and drink, at the finish line. It is a fun time to hang out with friends and family.
The race start is a quarter mile up Leif Erikson from the gate at the top of Thurman St. Map.
Parking is on neighborhood streets. Carpooling, taking public transit, or ride share is highly recommended as the parking can get tight and we need to be respectful of the local residents. Do not block driveways.
We are continuing our Carpool Coaster program to encourage as many racers to share a ride as possible. Plan to carpool and earn your wood race coaster!
Given that the park borders private property, there is no parking for spectators at any of the aid stations.
We love volunteers and our racers do to! To make this race a success we need people to help at bib pickups, race start and finish, aid stations, and on the trail. You can sign up for the assignment you’d like on Ultrasignup. Click on the green Volunteer button with the heart.
The 50K provides 2 points toward every race of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® for 2019.
We do have a few rules that apply to all Go Beyond Racing races. Be sure you are familiar with them.

Forest Park is a public municipal park in the Tualatin Mountains west of downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. Stretching for more than 8 miles (13 km) on hillsides overlooking the Willamette River, it is one of the country’s largest urban forest reserves. The park, a major component of a regional system of parks and trails, covers more than 5,100 acres (2,064 ha) of mostly second-growth forest with a few patches of old growth. About 70 miles (110 km) of recreational trails, including the Wildwood Trail segment of the city’s 40 Mile Loop system.
