Mckenzie River Trail Run

The McKenzie River Trail Run is a 31-mile ultramarathon held annually in Blue River, Oregon, along one of America's most scenic trails. The course follows the McKenzie River, featuring stunning natural landmarks such as two waterfalls, Clear Lake, lava flows, old growth forests, log bridges, and the aquamarine Tamolitch Pool. The technically challenging route offers moderate elevation gains and breathtaking views.

Starting near Carmen Reservoir, the trail passes through Clear Lake Resort and finishes near the McKenzie River Ranger Station. The event supports local nonprofits and businesses, includes aid stations every 4-6 miles, and provides post-race refreshments and a finisher's prize. It is Oregon's oldest continuous ultramarathon, celebrating its 37th running in 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
