Tillamook Forest Center, OR
The original Tillamook Forest races are happening this year! But with an impressive update. The 50K course now goes up and over Elk & Kings Mountains, just like the 25K route.
The 25K is a steep and technical course run on single-track trails in the Tillamook State Forest. Runners will summit two mountains – Elk and Kings – and involve 5,800 feet of gain. There are a number of sections requiring small scrambles as well as very steep descents on rocky – and sometimes slick trails. This is NOT your typical 25K trail race. We recommend you run the course prior to race day to give you an understanding what this course will throw at you.
The 50K is upgraded. Now with 7,500' of elevation gain and a couple technical additions (we call them mountains), this new course is tough - take it seriously. It is almost all single track, on the Wilson River trail and the Elk Mountain and Kings Mountain trails.
No matter the distance you choose, you will have an amazing Fall day in the forest with friends.
For those die-hard Elk-Kings fans, we're sorry to say that there is no Mountain Marathon this year. You're welcome.
