FALL FOLIAGE & SWEEPING VISTAS 

Run through fall foliage on the banks of the Columbia River at this destination marathon & half-marathon race. On the course, you'll celebrate the sweeping vistas and impressive natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge. Runners and walkers are welcomed with a 7-hour half-marathon cut-off time. 
​
A century ago the Historic Columbia River Hwy was designed to highlight the impressive and breathtaking colors and views of the Columbia River Gorge. The once-great highway is now part paved trail, part small-town backroads.
