Wood You Rather

Wood You Rather is a unique checkpoint running event organized by Go Beyond Racing, taking place in Forest Park, Portland. Unlike traditional races, participants receive a map with ten highlighted checkpoints and must choose their own routes to collect as many as possible within a 2.5-hour timeframe. Runners can compete solo or form teams, with the winners determined by the number of checkpoints reached and the fastest return time.

The event encourages strategic decision-making regarding trail selection and route planning. Each finisher receives a commemorative mug, and there are prizes for top performers in various categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
