Welcome to the Wy’east Howl, the premier trail running event on Mt. Hood! The Howl offers wildly scenic 100K, 50K and half marathon trail running races on Oregon’s most famous volcano, Wy’east (the native name for Mt. Hood, pronounced why-east) including the iconic Timberline Trail. As the only ultramarathons and trail half marathon held on the slopes of Mt. Hood proper, the event provides an incomparably up-close, unique and beautiful trail race experience.

The event is staged at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area, offering a family-friendly full service venue high up on the mountain! Runners, friends and family are all treated to incredible views under the summit of Wy’east, where we’ll celebrate every race finisher’s accomplishment together with awards, raffle prizes, excellent food, craft beverages, live music and fun activities at the lodge patio finish line.
