Mt. Hood Races
Clackamas Ranger Station Mt. HoodThe Mt Hood race is a Pacific Northwest classic. Almost all of the 50M and much of the 50K are run on the heavily-shaded Pacific Crest Trail. The 25K distance doesn’t use the PCT, but take racers around Clackamas and Timothy Lakes on some great single-track and double-track trails. The Mt Hood 50 Mile race fills up quickly so we use a lottery to give more people an opportunity to enter. Registration begins on Sunday January 1st at 7:00 a.m. Pacific and will stay open until the 7th at 6:00 pm Pacific. We will draw the names on Saturday, January 8th at TBA time/place with the first 150 selected getting into the race. Those not selected are placed onto the wait list in the order they are drawn. Registration will reopen, for the wait list, on January 10th. The 50K and 25K are not lotteries and […]

Mountain Lakes 100
Olallie Lake Mt. HoodOne of the country’s most beautiful 100-mile races starts at Clackamas Lake Historic Ranger Station (instead of the usual Olallie Lake, due to fire damage) and runs mostly along the Pacific Crest Trail. This race features the best trail running Oregon has to offer – technical and rocky sections, views of mountain peaks and lakes, and luscious sections of single track on the Pacific Crest Trail. If the area around Olallie Lake is recovered enough to host the event from there, we will. We’re assuming it won’t be and are planning to use the Clackamas Lake Historic Ranger Station again in 2022. The race is a lottery. You can enter the lottery starting January 30th, until February 5th at 6:00 p.m. PT. The drawing occurs on Sunday, February 6th at 10:00 a.m. PT. You can […]
