One of Oregon’s favorite trail full marathon and half marathon races returns for the 22nd year on Saturday, August 7th, 2027. 

This Is Mountain Trail Running

Leave the pavement behind. Haulin’ Aspen takes you deep into the Deschutes National Forest for a full day of trails, climbs, incredible views and some seriously rewarding miles. Choose your challenge with a full all-trail marathon, half marathon, 6.5-mile “Half As,” or three-person marathon relay. Take it on solo or rally your crew and share the miles.

All courses begin and end at Wanoga Sno-Park at 5,500 feet, winding through single track and forest service roads across the rolling terrain of the Deschutes National Forest. Expect elevation changes, wooded stretches, rocky and dusty trails, and plenty of classic Central Oregon scenery along the way.

Marathoners and relay teams should be ready for a challenge late in the course, including approximately 700 feet of vertical gain between miles 21.5 and 24. Cool mountain mornings can turn into warm summer days quickly, so come prepared with appropriate trail shoes, hydration and nutrition.

Make a weekend of it, bring your crew and experience summer trail running in Bend.

Rally Your Team for the Marathon Relay

The three-person marathon relay is back, giving teams the chance to take on the full 26.2-mile Haulin’ Aspen course together.

Runner 1: 9.6 miles from Wanoga Sno-Park to Transition 1 at Aid Station 3
Runner 2: Approximately 11.7 miles to Transition 2 at Aid Station 7 (mile 21.3)
Runner 3: Approximately 4.9 miles, including the final uphill push back to Wanoga Sno-Park

Grab your running buddies, coworkers, family or favorite adventure crew and divide up the challenge. Each runner gets their own stretch of beautiful high-elevation trail, while the team gets the satisfaction of completing the full marathon course together.

Three runners. 26.2 miles. One Haulin’ Aspen finish.
