Race Testimonial
"In 260 Marathons few have provided the challenge, the scenery and the venue that Columbia Gorge Marathon delivered. Hood River has a lock on an unimaginable experience for any and all runners. Thanks for a wonderful weekend of racing."

Kids Marathon
Here’s a chance for kids to participate in a marathon – one mile at a time. Kids run or walk 25 miles over the Summer and early Fall, logging their progress. Then race on October 27th!
Cost is free for those kids that log their miles to complete the marathon,
$10 for kids that do not log their miles and want to participate in the 1.2 mile fun-run!
