Hagg Mud 50K/25K (25K-50K) - Feb 14, 2026 | Gaston, OR

Embrace the challenge and revel in the mud at the Hagg Mud 50K/25K, an Oregon classic returning on February 14, 2026, in Gaston, Oregon. Hosted at the C-Ramp Recreation Area of Henry Hagg Lake in Scoggins Valley Park, this enduring event has captivated runners since 2001 with its promise of excellent trails and a memorable, muddy experience. Participants can choose between the 50K (two loops) or the 25K (one loop) distances, both taking place on Saturday. Typical race day conditions in mid-February include highs around 50F and lows around 34F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, setting the stage for the renowned "Hagg Mud."

The course is largely composed of single-track trails, offering lovely views as you navigate the counter-clockwise loops around Henry Hagg Lake. Runners begin with an out-and-back section on a gravel road, which accounts for the most significant elevation change of the race (starting around 319 ft and peaking at 847 ft). After this initial spread-out, the real adventure begins as you hit the trails, where the "mud starts" and the terrain becomes a "slip-and-slide" of sticking, slipping, and sucking mud. Expect a rolling course that winds through lush forest canopies and open meadows, promising a genuinely unique slogging experience.

The Hagg Mud 50K/25K ensures a well-supported journey with aid stations stocked with typical ultra fare, including fruit, sweet and salty snacks, soda, Gatorade, and GU. The 50K boasts five aid stations strategically placed around the course, while the 25K features two. This is a cupless event, so be sure to bring your own hydration vessel to refill. Upon crossing the finish line back at the C-Ramp Recreation Area, runners are welcomed with a lively post-race celebration, complete with warm food and drinks, custom finisher socks, and warming/changing tents to thaw out after your muddy accomplishment. Many runners laud the event's atmosphere and the camaraderie found in embracing the dirty challenge, with some describing the mud as capable of "sucking your shoes right off your feet."
