Haulin Aspen Trail Marathon & Half Marathon runs through the spectacular trail network surrounding Sunriver Resort and the Deschutes National Forest in Central Oregon. The course winds through golden aspen groves (at their most spectacular in late summer), old-growth ponderosa pine forests, and open meadows with sweeping views of the Three Sisters, Mount Bachelor, and Broken Top. The marathon and half marathon share the same scenic forest terrain, making this one of Central Oregon’s premier late-summer trail experiences.<\/p>\n
The 22nd Annual Haulin Aspen takes place Saturday, August 8, 2026, based near Sunriver, Oregon. Registration is through RunSignup. The course is a well-marked, well-supported trail race with aid stations staffed by enthusiastic volunteers. The modest field size (500-1,000 participants) gives the race an intimate feel that larger events can’t match. Sunriver Resort area provides excellent post-race accommodation and dining.<\/p>\n
Haulin Aspen is a beloved fixture in the Central Oregon racing calendar precisely because it combines challenging, beautiful trails with a welcoming community atmosphere. The aspen groves in August light are genuinely stunning \u2014 photographers as well as runners make the trip. At 4,200 feet elevation, temperatures are cooler than Portland or Eugene in August, making for ideal trail running conditions. The Sunriver area’s resort amenities make it easy to reward yourself generously after the race.<\/p>\n
Trail shoes with good traction are essential for the forest floor and aspen grove terrain. At 4,200 feet, sea-level runners should pace conservatively. Book Sunriver Resort or nearby Bend accommodation early \u2014 August weekends in Central Oregon are popular. The race fills to capacity; register as soon as registration opens.<\/p>\n

Coast Trail Run","description":" The Perpetua Coast trail races take place on the scenic headlands and rainforest trails around Cape Perpetua, Oregon’s highest coastal viewpoint at 803 feet above sea level. The half marathon course is a gorgeous point-to-point route with 2,500 feet of elevation gain and 2,600 feet of descent, featuring miles of stunning old-growth rainforest singletrack, panoramic coastline views from the summit of Cape Perpetua, and rocky bluff paths skirting the shoreline near Yachats. The 50K and 20-miler offer even longer explorations of this spectacular coastal landscape on Saturday, while the half marathon and 10K run on Sunday.<\/p>\n The 2026 Perpetua Coast weekend takes place October 3-4, 2026, based at The Adobe Resort (1555 Hwy 101 N, Yachats, OR 97498). On Saturday: 50K starts at 8:00 a.m. and the 20-miler at 8:05 a.m. On Sunday: shuttle buses depart for the half marathon start at 8:25 a.m. (race start 9:00 a.m.) and for the 10K at 8:55 a.m. (start 9:30 a.m.). All bib pickup is at The Adobe’s Perpetua Conference Room. Organized by Daybreak Racing.<\/p>\n Yachats \u2014 pronounced ‘ya-hots’ \u2014 is one of Oregon’s least-discovered coastal gems, and the Perpetua Coast race puts it on every serious trail runner’s map. The combination of old-growth Sitka spruce rainforest, dramatic ocean bluffs, and the summit of Cape Perpetua creates trail running scenery that rivals anything in the Pacific Northwest. The Adobe Resort provides a luxurious base for a full race weekend, with a Friday evening shake-out run and sunset gathering building community before the main events.<\/p>\n This is a challenging course with significant elevation \u2014 the half marathon’s 2,500 feet of gain requires solid trail fitness and hill training. Shuttle buses are required for the half and 10K; arrive early. October on the Oregon coast can mean rain, wind, and cold \u2014 pack waterproof layers. Book The Adobe Resort or nearby Yachats accommodation early. The Friday evening shake-out run and sunset gathering are genuinely fun and worth attending.<\/p>\n Explore Oregon’s wild coast on foot \u2014 register at Daybreak

Marathon","description":" The Eugene Marathon course is one of the most historically meaningful routes in American distance running. Starting and finishing at Hayward Field on Agate Street, the course sends runners through the University of Oregon’s iconic neighborhoods, south along E Amazon to Frank Kinney Park, and back through the university campus before joining the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System along the Willamette River. The half marathon loops west in Alton Baker Park before returning to Hayward Field for a finish 200m on the track. Marathoners extend into Springfield before the triumphant track finish.<\/p>\n The 2027 Eugene Marathon weekend takes place April 23-25, 2027. The event sold out in both 2024 and 2025, making early registration essential. In addition to the marathon and half marathon, the Eugene 5K and Kids Duck Dash round out the weekend. Registration opens in late summer for the following year’s event at eugenemarathon.com.<\/p>\n No city in America has a deeper connection to distance running than Eugene, Oregon \u2014 Track Town USA. Training under the legendary Bill Bowerman at the University of Oregon, Steve Prefontaine helped define American distance running, and his spirit animates every step of this course. Finishing on the Hayward Field track \u2014 where Pre ran his final race, where Olympians compete, and where running history was made \u2014 gives runners chills regardless of their finishing time.<\/p>\n Register the moment registration opens \u2014 this race sells out. Eugene is a perfect weekend destination with excellent restaurants, a vibrant downtown, and Prefontaine memorial sites throughout the city. The Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path section offers flat, scenic running; save energy for the stadium finish. Plan to tour Hayward Field before or after \u2014 guided tours are available.<\/p>\n Finish on the most famous track in America \u2014 register at Eugene

for the Roses","description":" The Rip City Race for the Roses weaves through the heart of Portland starting from Rose Quarter Commons, the plaza between Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Moda Center. The course showcases Portland’s vibrant downtown neighborhoods and riverside paths, with the start and finish framed by the iconic Rose Festival atmosphere. All distances begin between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., with early finishers crossing the line just after 8:00 a.m.<\/p>\n Organized in partnership with the Royal Rosarians \u2014 Portland’s official ambassadors of goodwill \u2014 this race is a centerpiece of the Portland Rose Festival, one of the oldest civic festivals in America. Participants in the half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1K Kids Dash receive a finisher medal, a rose (handed out by the Rosarians in their signature white suits), and for adults, a post-race mimosa. Revenue from the event benefits Albertina Kerr, a local non-profit supporting people with developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n Few races combine civic pride, history, and running as elegantly as Race for the Roses. The presence of the Royal Rosarians in their formal whites, handing each finisher a long-stem rose while Portland blooms around them, creates an unforgettable finish-line moment. The Rose Festival setting, mimosas, and the family-friendly Kids Dash make it a perfect spring day out for running households across the Portland metro.<\/p>\n Keep an eye on the Royal Rosarians website and the Portland Rose Festival calendar for the confirmed 2027 date, typically in late April. The Rose Quarter Commons provides a central location with easy MAX light rail access from throughout the metro area. Arrive early \u2014 parking in the Rose Quarter is limited on event days.<\/p>\n Join Portland’s most rose-scented race \u2014 check registration at Royal

Rim Runs","description":" The Crater Lake Rim Runs take place entirely along the rim of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, one of America’s most awe-inspiring natural landscapes. All three running distances and the walk option follow the paved Rim Drive \u2014 with the final four miles of the marathon on dirt and pumice cinder roads \u2014 at elevations ranging from 5,980 to 7,850 feet above sea level. The panoramic views of Crater Lake, formed by the collapse of ancient Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago and filled with 1,943 feet of impossibly blue water, are visible for nearly every mile. Long climbs and descents of nearly 1,000 feet over five-mile stretches add athletic challenge to the visual magnificence.<\/p>\n Now in its fifth decade (47th annual as of 2024), the Crater Lake Rim Runs take place in early August \u2014 typically the second Saturday \u2014 starting at 7:30 a.m. from the Rim Village parking area. Course closures: 6.7-mile run at 9:30 a.m., 13-mile run at 10:00 a.m., and marathon at 1:00 p.m. The race is limited to 500 participants and fills quickly. Registration opens March 1st. Participants must be at least 10 years old for the 6.7-mile option and 18 for the marathon. No registration is permitted inside the park.<\/p>\n There is no race venue in Oregon \u2014 arguably in America \u2014 that rivals Crater Lake for sheer geological and visual grandeur. Running around the rim of a caldera filled with the purest water on earth, with Wizard Island rising from the lake’s center and the Cascades extending in every direction, is a transcendent experience. The high altitude and honest climbs make every finish a genuine achievement, and the remoteness of the park means participants experience the lake at its quietest, before summer crowds arrive.<\/p>\n Altitude acclimatization is essential \u2014 arrive a day early if coming from sea level. The Rim Village and Crater Lake Lodge offer on-site lodging but book months in advance. The park entrance fee applies to all visitors. Register as soon as registration opens on March 1st. Bring layers; Crater Lake rim temperatures can drop dramatically even in August.<\/p>\n Run the rim of one of America’s great wonders \u2014 register at Crater Lake Rim

Pasta Portland","description":" Pints to Pasta is one of Portland’s most beloved road races, offering a beautiful and fast point-to-point course through the heart of the city. The race starts with a dramatic crossing of the Broadway Bridge before dropping onto Naito Parkway along the west side of the Willamette River. Runners cross the Morrison Bridge and finish at OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) on the east bank. The course showcases Portland’s iconic bridges and riverfront in a single exhilarating outing.<\/p>\n Originally part of the Hood to Coast Race Series, Pints to Pasta offers the 10K and half marathon distances. Free shuttle service transports runners from the finish area near OMSI to the north Portland start, making logistics seamless. The post-race party is the event’s signature attraction \u2014 complimentary pasta, salad, and bread, paired with Widmer Brothers beer and Barefoot Wine (ID required), served at the finish. Check RunSignup for confirmed future dates.<\/p>\n The ‘run from beers to pasta’ concept is simple and brilliant \u2014 a satisfying morning run rewarded by a full pasta dinner and cold beer at the finish. The point-to-point route eliminates out-and-back monotony, and the bridge crossings offer spectacular elevated views of Portland’s downtown and the Willamette. It’s one of the few races where the finish-line food genuinely rivals the course itself in participant satisfaction.<\/p>\n Use the free shuttle from OMSI to the start rather than driving to the Broadway Bridge area. The race typically takes place in the fall \u2014 check RunSignup for confirmed dates. Come hungry; the pasta and beer combo at OMSI is one of Portland running’s most celebrated traditions. Wear a layer you can tie around your waist \u2014 temperatures can vary from start to finish on fall mornings.<\/p>\nCourse Highlights<\/h3>\n
