SUMMARY:Columbia Gorge Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe Columbia Gorge Marathon is set in one of America’s most spectacular natural corridors — the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area — with courses along the Historic Columbia River Highway and through Hood River County’s iconic orchard country. October timing means peak fall foliage on the basalt walls of the Gorge\, golden leaves in the apple and pear orchards\, and the dramatic snow-dusted peaks of Mount Hood and Mount Adams as a constant backdrop. The full marathon\, half marathon\, and relay options all feature the Gorge’s signature combination of stunning views and meaningful challenge. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 Columbia Gorge Marathon takes place October 17-18\, 2026 in Hood River\, Oregon. With 1\,000-5\,000 participants\, this is a well-established regional marathon drawing runners from across the Pacific Northwest. Every marathon and half marathon runner receives a custom Columbia Gorge beanie. The relay option makes it accessible for groups and teams. Register at columbiagorgemarathon.com. \nWhy Runners Love It\nHood River is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved small cities — a world-class windsurfing and kiteboarding mecca with an exceptional food scene\, multiple craft breweries\, and a farmers market culture built on the Gorge’s legendary orchards. The marathon’s October timing makes it a perfect fall race destination weekend. Running through orchard rows with fallen leaves and the smell of ripe fruit while Mount Hood looms overhead is a uniquely Oregon sensory experience. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nBook Hood River lodging months in advance — October coincides with the peak apple and pear harvest season. The Historic Columbia River Highway section can be hilly — plan accordingly. Full Sail Brewing and Double Mountain Brewery are among Hood River’s excellent post-race celebration options. Combine the race weekend with apple orchard visits along Fruit Loop Road. \nRun through the Gorge in its finest season — register at Columbia Gorge Marathon.
