The Timberline Marathon is much more than a running event. It is an amazing sensory journey from the jagged vistas of magestic Mt. Hood through the fern carpeted forests of centuries old Douglas fir to the sapphire blue waters of pristine Timothy Lake. Dramatic scenery changes draw you to new discoveries around each corner. The experience will challenge your mind and body and leave you with a profound sense personal victory. It is running in its' purest form.

This is Oregon's signature TRAIL running event! The beautiful course follows a stunning segment of the Pacific Crest Trail from historic Timberline Lodge high on Mt Hood to shimmering Timothy Lake nestled in the high Cascades. There is a 3,000 feet net elevation loss - yeah, it's like running downhill! Every finisher gets a custom medal and memories for a lifetime.
