If you’ve run in McDonald Forest in Corvallis, you know the sweet single track trails that exist out there. The Condor 25K Trail Run uses a lot of the same trails as the Mac 50K, including all 4 new sections of Bonzai trail and the TnT trail, which will be in this year’s course. Back for its 9th year, the Condor 25K turns all proceeds back to trail building, which is quite evident in the…
King’s Mountain is one of the most rewarding, if challenging hikes in the Portland area. Between some grueling elevation gain and technical ascents, the payoff feels even more worth it when you finally reach the top. When Go Beyond Racing first announced that they had a race that covers not only King’s Mountain, but the additional Elk Mountain traverse loop, we here at Run Oregon knew it was going to be an epic adventure. This year,…

On a dirt path. In the middle of nowhere. If you’re able to work up the courage or the appropriate training regimen to get there and if you someday find yourself in the…
The very first ultra race that I ever participated in was the 2018 Mary’s Peak 50k. I enjoyed it so much that I did it again in 2019 before “retiring” from ultras temporarily. It was the only 50k I did twice and what I loved about it, (other than being so scenic,) was the personal touches. I love a “down-home” operation that feels like family and embraces the runner’s community. You get just that from…
