What Makes It Great

A challenging 25K through the heart of the Columbia River Gorge rainshadow, covering the same stunning terrain as the 55K in a shorter format. The course climbs through the Tracy Hill Loop's oak savanna and volcanic grasslands to a ridge with staggering views of Mount Hood and the Gorge, then crosses back through the upper trails before plunging down the legendary Coyote Wall escarpment — 1,800 feet of technical, rocky descent along the canyon rim that makes for an unforgettable 15.6-mile finish.
