Columbia Gorge Marathon

The Columbia Gorge Marathon, held in Hood River, Oregon, is a scenic destination race featuring marathon, half-marathon, relay, and dog run options. Participants run along the historic Columbia River Highway, now a mix of paved trails and small-town backroads, surrounded by stunning fall foliage and sweeping vistas of the Columbia River Gorge. The course highlights the area's natural beauty, with well-stocked aid stations and port-a-potties every 1-3 miles.

Runners enjoy a catered post-race meal, a custom finisher's medal, and a Columbia Gorge beanie. The event welcomes both runners and walkers, with a generous half-marathon cut-off time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
