Welcome to Wy'east Trailfest, featuring world class mountain trail race courses covering some of Mt. Hood’s most diverse and famous terrain, with 50 mile and 50K point-to-point, as well as 28K, Half Marathon, 14K and 8K loop-style routes!

50 Miles
The 50 Miler offers an absolutely stunning and world-class point-to-point mountain trail race route, featuring volcanic alpine ridgelines up high and big forests, wildflower meadows and waterfalls down lower. This challenging and scenic mountain trail race shuttles runners out to the start line at the east edge of Mt. Hood National Forest’s Ponderosa backcountry, then runs ridgeline trails back onto the volcano, up high into the alpine, then down to the finish at Mt. Hood Meadows. Runners will encounter an incredibly broad spectrum of PNW trail terrain, from Ponderosa, juniper and mantanzita-lined dirt single track, to steep, historic rocky ridgelines, some rough doubletrack and steep, plus exposed and sometimes scrambly volcanic alpine trails. Truly magnificent views abound from start to finish!
