Get Ready for Winter Trail Running at the 2025 Lithia Loop Trail Marathon

November is coming and so is the 2025 Lithia Loop Trail Marathon! This race is on November 8th in beautiful Ashland, OR. There are three distances to choose from: a 10k, a half marathon (called a “mini-marathon” on the website,) and a full marathon.

All distances start and finish at Lithia Park together on a course that circumnavigates the Ashland watershed. You can expect 7,200 feet of elevation change on dirt roads and tails and about 2 miles of asphalt.  You can check out the marathon course here, the mini-marathon course here, and the 10k course here.

There are 5 well-stocked aid stations along the course with Skratch Electrolyte drink and GU energy gels. There is a time limit of about 6 hours.

Space for this trail race is limited to the first 300 runners. T-shirts will be granted to those who have entered before 10/31. There will be a post-race memento and beverages available at the finish line.

If the race isn’t sold out, you may also register at Rogue Valley Runners during packet pick-up (Friday 11/1) or on race day, but note that shirts are not guaranteed.
