Event Details

10K Trail Run/Walk
Hit the dirt running or walking on a challenging trail terrain. The entire trail is on private land and we appreciate the permission of the landowner for allowing us passage. The 10K Trail Run is a 6.2 mile out and back on a “lollipop” looped course with views of the Columbia Gorge and breathtaking Mt. Hood. This course is chip timed and ideal for the competitive runner, walker or pole trekker. What makes it challenging is the over 1600 vertical gain you will experience in the first h alf. Just remember, what goes up must come down! It’s worth it. All finishers receive a medal when they cross the finish line. You’ll even receive a fresh technical t-shirt. Celebrate with ice cold refreshments and food at the finish line. Awards will be presented to the Top Overall 1st, 2nd, 3rd place male/female, 1st Masters male/female and 1st place local resident male/female. Awards will be presented at the Official Awards Ceremony, Sunday 6pm at Adventure Village.
