About This Distance
A Sunday half marathon with arguably the best views of any trail half in Central Oregon. 2,500 ft of climbing packed into 13.1 miles, with Monkey Face in frame for much of the day and the full Cascade skyline at your back.
90 percent single track, one full-service aid station, and a course that makes you earn every view. A strong bridge race for athletes stepping up from road halves toward a trail 50K next year.
