SUMMARY:McKenzie River Trail Run
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe McKenzie River Trail Run follows one of America’s most spectacular trail running routes\, tracing the McKenzie River through the Willamette National Forest on a 31-mile point-to-point course from Carmen Reservoir (near Koosah Falls and Icecap Campground) to the finish line across from the McKenzie River Ranger Station. The trail passes two spectacular waterfalls — Koosah Falls and Sahalie Falls — skirts the crystalline shores of Clear Lake\, traverses ancient lava fields\, crosses log bridges over the turquoise McKenzie River\, and passes the hauntingly beautiful Tamolitch Pool (Blue Pool)\, where the entire river disappears underground through a lava tube. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 McKenzie River Trail Run is scheduled for Saturday\, June 13\, 2026\, with registration at UltraSignup. This is a 501(c)3 non-profit event operated under a special use permit from the Willamette National Forest. As Oregon’s oldest ultramarathon\, it draws runners from across the Pacific Northwest who come specifically for the incomparable trail quality. The course is technically challenging but features only moderate elevation gain. \nWhy Runners Love It\nThe McKenzie River Trail is widely considered one of the most beautiful trails in America\, and running it in race format — with aid stations\, marking\, and fellow trail runners — is a special privilege. The combination of old-growth Douglas fir forest\, volcanic geology\, crystal-clear river pools\, and historic log bridges creates a sensory experience that no road race can match. Many runners describe Tamolitch Pool as the most stunning aid station stop in their racing career. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nThis is a true ultramarathon — train specifically for 31 miles on technical single-track trail. Register early through UltraSignup — the race fills with a dedicated local and regional field. Plan to arrive the day before to explore the McKenzie River Highway and acclimate to the forest setting. Bring trail shoes with good traction for the lava rock sections. \nRun Oregon’s most legendary trail — register at UltraSignup.
