Wy'east Trailfest 50K

The flagship event and 2026 USATF 50K Trail National Championship, this point-to-point course begins at Surveyors Ridge east of the mountain and climbs through diverse national forest terrain to the 8,000-foot volcanic turnaround on Mt. Hood's flanks. The route passes through flowing ridgeline singletrack, historic rocky doubletracks, wildflower corridors along Sahale Falls Trail, and a jaw-dropping final push up the Wizard Trail's scree fields to the moraine spine. After the turnaround, runners rip the descent back to Mt. Hood Meadows on exposed alpine trails. With $12,000 in prize money and a national championship designation, the field draws competitive trail runners from across the country.
