12th Annual • Blodgett, Oregon

What a day.

Over 300 runners, volunteers, family members, and supporters gathered in Blodgett for one of the toughest trail running events in the Pacific Northwest. This year's event marked the debut of the Marys Peak 100K, replacing the former 50-mile distance and raising the challenge to an entirely new level.


From the first 5:00 AM headlamps leaving Blodgett School until our final 100K finishers crossed the line that evening, the course delivered everything runners expect from Marys Peak:


  • Rugged singletrack
  • Technical roots and rocks
  • Towering Douglas fir forests
  • Remote aid stations
  • Incredible volunteers
  • Spectacular summit views
  • A true mountain adventure


The weather cooperated, allowing runners to experience some of the best views Marys Peak has to offer while still testing everyone with over 12,000 feet of climbing in the new 100K course.


100K –

The inaugural 100K proved exactly what it was designed to be—a true mountain ultra. This run may indeed be too hard, as only 50% finished.

Two complete summits of Marys Peak, more than 12,000 feet of elevation gain, remote forest roads, technical trail, and an 18-hour cutoff challenged every athlete who accepted the adventure.

For many runners, this became a test of whats possible

50K

The Marys Peak 50K once again delivered one of Oregon's premier mountain trail races.

With a single summit of Marys Peak, over 6,000 feet of climbing, and rugged terrain from start to finish, runners experienced everything that makes this event special—from flowing forest trails to steep climbs and unforgettable views across the Coast Range.

25K

The 25K welcomed both experienced trail runners and newcomers looking to experience Marys Peak.

Although the shortest distance of the day, the course was anything but easy, giving participants a true mountain running experience while reaching some of the most scenic sections of the course.

Many runners commented that this was one of the most beautiful—and challenging—25Ks they've ever completed.
