If the McKenzie River had a heartbeat, this would be it.
The McKenzie River Trail Run is Oregon’s oldest continuous ultramarathon, weaving runners through old-growth forests, lava flows, waterfalls, and the surreal blue waters of Tamolitch Pool.
But this isn’t just a race—it’s a full community moment. Spectators line access points, lodges fill with runners and crews, and the entire river corridor hums with energy.
✨ Expect:
• 50K ultramarathon on one of America’s most scenic trails
• Visiting athletes and outdoor enthusiasts
• Strong community support + local vendor presence
• A perfect anchor weekend for lodging and dining
