Lithia Loop Trail Marathon

The Lithia Loop Trail Marathon, held annually in Ashland, Oregon, features a challenging loop course starting and finishing in Lithia Park. The marathon covers a mix of 2 miles of pavement, 3 miles of double track trail, 6 miles of single track trail, and 15 miles of closed dirt roads, with a total elevation gain of about 7,200 feet. The route ascends over 3,000 feet in the first 10 miles and descends in the last 6 miles.

Alongside the full marathon, there are Mini-Marathon (13.1 miles) and 10K trail run options sharing parts of the course. The event offers aid stations, technical shirts, medals, and a finishers' meal, set in a scenic and sometimes variable November climate.
