Lace up for the Sisters Country race on May 3, 2026, a premier trail running event in the heart of picturesque Sisters, Oregon. Kick off your spring season with a challenging yet approachable 50K or a scenic 13.1M half marathon, both starting and finishing at the vibrant Village Green Park. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 66°F and lows near 34°F, alongside a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for hitting the trails.
The Sisters Country 50K promises incredible views of the Cascade Peaks, most notably the iconic Three Sisters, as you navigate 2,400 feet of climbing and descending over a course that is 85% single track trails and 15% gravel road. This makes for a fast and runnable ultra, welcoming to first-time ultramarathoners thanks to generous cut-off times and five fully stocked aid stations. The Half Marathon offers an equally stunning experience, with 95% single track trails winding through Ponderosa Pines and only 700 feet of climbing, making it a fast and scenic option for those stepping up to the distance. Two aid stations provide support along the half marathon route.
Beyond the breathtaking scenery and well-supported courses, Sisters Country stands out for its vibrant community atmosphere and post-race celebration. Enjoy pre-race coffee and, after crossing the finish line, indulge in a complimentary burrito bar and craft beer from Cascade Lakes Brewing. Every finisher receives a medal, and top male, female, and non-binary athletes are awarded prizes from sponsors. The event also supports a great cause, acting as a fundraiser for the Ridgeview High School Cross Country Team. Runners consistently praise the beautiful course, friendly volunteers, and the overall fun experience, making it a highly recommended race for both seasoned trail runners and those looking to complete their first ultra or half marathon.
