About This Distance
The Thunder River 50K is a mostly point-to-point traverse of the Columbia River Gorge that links iconic trail with nonstop scenery. After a shuttle (or drop-off) to the start, you’ll work your way along the Pacific Crest Trail and Gorge 400 Trail before dropping into Cascade Locks beneath the Bridge of the Gods.
The finish includes a final loop around Thunder Island — surrounded by the Columbia River — before ending at Marine Park for a true Gorge finish-line celebration.
