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 early start options and generous course cut-off times. 
​
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.
