Marathon Course

This course is designed to include some of the most spectacular scenery that you’ll ever have an opportunity to see!

Part of this route was built nearly 100 years ago as the first highway to navigate the Columbia River Gorge, and it is as impressive today as it was back then.

Race Testimonials

"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."
~ The Junkie
2011 Columbia Gorge Marathon Champion

"I don't know if I'll ever understand why people run marathons in big cities with big crowds when there is a Columbia River Marathon that BEATS everything in beauty, challenge, organization (and even great weather) ...but, if all those people came out to this one that wouldn't be good. :) Not enough words to describe...all Incredible! Huge Thanks!"
~ Gwen Thomas

"Thank you to all for putting on such a amazing, beautiful and challenging race! I will be back next year a little more prepared for all those hills!! Ouch!! Still smiling though. :)"
~ Melanie Newell Julien

"It was beautiful!! Definitely lives up to the motto and even better was an 11-minute PR, despite that hill. All the organization was superb! Thank you to everyone involved."
