Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Oregon Coast Range at the Marys Peak Trail Run on June 13, 2026. This celebrated event, marking its 12th anniversary, offers challenging distances of 100K, 50K, and 25K, all starting and finishing at the welcoming Blodgett School and Gym in Blodgett, OR. Prepare to conquer Marys Peak, the highest point in the Coast Range at 4,101 feet, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains to the east and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west. Runners consistently praise the course for its stunning beauty and its unique access to remote, private trails on Starker Forests Land, which are specially cleared each spring just for this event.

The Marys Peak Trail Run courses are known for their raw, rugged, and rewarding nature. The new-for-2026 100K distance is a true mountain ultra, boasting over 12,000 feet of elevation gain and two summits of Marys Peak across rarely traveled singletrack, forest roads, and sweeping ridgelines. The 50K, a powerful single-summit course, offers over 6,000 feet of gain with technical descents and forested ridgelines, while the 25K covers what many consider the most challenging second half of the longer courses, accumulating 2,200 feet of elevation. Expect a challenging mix of steep climbs, relentless roots, and rocks through dense forests of ferns and wildflowers. Aid stations are strategically placed every 10 miles or less, fully stocked and supported by dedicated volunteers to ensure your success.

Beyond the physical demands, the Marys Peak Trail Run offers a vibrant community atmosphere, often described as a "down-home operation that feels like family". Typical race day conditions in Blodgett often see comfortable highs around 73°F and lows around 44°F, with a low 6% chance of precipitation, though the summit can be cooler. Complimentary onsite camping is available for 100K participants, along with delicious post-race burritos for all finishers. This race delivers a signature Pacific Northwest trail experience, making it a favorite for seasoned ultrarunners and newer trail enthusiasts alike.
