SUMMARY:Newport Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe Newport Marathon runs through the scenic streets of Newport\, Oregon\, one of the Oregon coast’s most beloved towns. The course follows the shores of Yaquina Bay and takes runners past the working fishing harbor on the historic Bayfront\, along the Pacific Ocean\, and through Newport’s charming residential neighborhoods. With both a full marathon and half marathon option\, runners of all abilities can experience this coastal gem. Packet pick-up takes place the day before at Yaquina Bay Yacht Club. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 Newport Marathon and Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday\, May 31\, 2026. With a field size of 500–1\,000 participants\, this is an intimate coastal event where every runner feels seen and supported. Newport’s May weather is typically mild and overcast — ideal for distance running — though coastal breezes and sea mist add to the maritime atmosphere. Register at newportmarathon.org. \nWhy Runners Love It\nNewport is Oregon’s quintessential coastal town\, and the marathon captures its soul beautifully. The sound of sea lions on the docks\, the smell of salt air\, fishing boats returning with the morning catch\, and a finish line within walking distance of the town’s excellent restaurants and breweries make the Newport Marathon a complete experience far beyond the miles. Many runners build a long coastal weekend around the event. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nBook accommodation in Newport or nearby Lincoln City early — coastal Oregon lodging fills quickly on race weekends. The historic Bayfront district offers excellent pre-race dinner options and post-race celebrations. Dress in layers; May mornings on the Oregon coast can be cold and windy before the sea breeze settles. Rogue Ales Brewery is among Newport’s excellent post-race celebration spots. \nRun by the sea — register at Newport Marathon.

SUMMARY:Timberline Trail Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nStarting near the iconic Timberline Lodge on the south slopes of Mount Hood at 6\,000 feet elevation\, the Timberline Trail Marathon offers one of the most dramatically alpine running experiences available in the Pacific Northwest. The course traverses the Pacific Crest Trail corridor\, descends through old-growth forest\, crosses swift mountain streams\, and winds through wildflower-filled meadows in the Zigzag and Sandy River drainages. Snow is common on upper sections even in June\, adding to the high-mountain atmosphere. Views of Mount Jefferson\, Mount Adams\, and the Hood River Valley accompany runners throughout. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 Timberline Marathon weekend takes place June 6-7\, 2026. The marathon is offered on Saturday with a start time of 8:30 a.m.\, while the half marathon runs on both Saturday and Sunday with a 9:30 a.m. start. The venue is staged at the Clackamas Lake Historic Ranger Station on the flanks of Mount Hood. Registration is through RunSignup. This intimate race is hosted near one of the most legendary mountain venues in the Pacific Northwest — Timberline Lodge\, a National Historic Landmark built by the WPA in 1937. \nWhy Runners Love It\nRunning on the flanks of Mount Hood\, Oregon’s highest peak and most iconic mountain\, is a genuinely alpine experience that most road runners never access. The combination of historic Timberline Lodge\, Mount Hood’s permanent snowfields\, wildflower meadows\, and the grandeur of the Pacific Crest Trail makes this one of the most photogenic race courses in the state. The modest field ensures a personal\, non-crowded experience on the mountain. \nRace-Weekend Tips\nHigh altitude demands conservative pacing\, especially early in the race. Dress for all weather — June on Mount Hood can mean sunshine\, fog\, wind\, and light snow within the same morning. Trail shoes with traction are required. Timberline Lodge’s Ram’s Head Bar and Cascade Dining Room offer extraordinary post-race recovery options. Book lodging at Timberline Lodge or in nearby Government Camp well in advance — this mountain area is extremely popular in June. \nRun on Oregon’s most iconic peak — register at RunSignup.

SUMMARY:Icefjord Midnight Marathon
DESCRIPTION:For those who love running\, there is no shortage of races to participate in all over the world. However\, for those looking for a unique and challenging event\, the Icefjord Midnight Marathon should be on your list. This race takes place in Ilulissat\, Greenland\, and offers runners a spectacular and unforgettable experience. In this blog post\, we will delve into what makes the Icefjord Midnight Marathon so special and what you need to know before signing up for this one-of-a-kind race. \n1. The Location:\nIlulissat\, Greenland is the location of the Icefjord Midnight Marathon\, and it is a beautiful and remote location that is unlike any other. Ilulissat is known as the “town of icebergs” and is home to the Icefjord\, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The marathon course takes runners through the town\, which is colorful and quaint\, before heading out into the wilderness. The starting and finishing lines are located in the town center\, which is also where the race expo and celebrations take place. \n2. The Course:\nThe Icefjord Midnight Marathon course is a challenging one\, with plenty of hills and rough terrain. Runners are treated to breathtaking views of the Icefjord as they make their way through the course. The race is a midnight marathon\, which means runners start at midnight and finish in the early hours of the morning. The midnight start time also means that runners will experience the surreal and beautiful phenomenon of the midnight sun\, which never sets during the summer months in Greenland. \n3. The Climate:\nThe climate in Greenland is harsh\, and runners need to be prepared for the cold and unpredictable weather. While the summer months\, when the Icefjord Marathon takes place\, are relatively mild\, temperatures can still drop below freezing at night. Runners are advised to dress in layers and to bring warm clothes before and after the race. The midnight sun can also be intense\, and runners should bring sunscreen and sunglasses to protect themselves. \n4. The Logistics:\nThe Icefjord Midnight Marathon is a small event\, with only a few hundred runners participating each year. As a result\, logistics can be a little challenging\, especially when it comes to accommodation and transport. Runners are advised to book their accommodation well in advance\, as options are limited in Ilulissat. Getting to and from Ilulissat can also be a challenge\, as there are no direct flights from many parts of the world. However\, once you arrive\, the organizers of the race are extremely helpful and accommodating and will help you with any questions or issues you may have. \n5. The Experience:\nThe Icefjord Midnight Marathon is an experience that runners will never forget. The challenge and beauty of the course\, combined with the uniqueness of the location and the midnight sun\, make this race unlike any other. Runners will find themselves bonding with fellow participants and experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the people of Ilulissat. The race expo and celebrations are also a highlight\, with plenty of local food\, music\, and culture to enjoy. \nThe Icefjord Midnight Marathon is a challenging and awe-inspiring event that is well worth adding to your marathon bucket list. While the logistics can be a challenge\, the experience of racing through the beautiful wilderness of Greenland\, and witnessing the midnight sun\, make it a unique and unforgettable experience. Runners who are up for a challenge and who want to experience running in one of the most spectacular locations on earth should definitely consider signing up for this amazing event. \nCheck out our race catalog for more exciting races.
