From the Organizer
Wy'east Trailfest presented by Speedland is a celebration of mountain trail running featuring Mt. Hood’s illustrious alpine terrain. Wildly beautiful, dynamic and challenging 50 miler, 50K, 28K & 14K mountain courses reach Oregon’s alpine rooftop at 8000’ on Saturday, followed by more cruisy and scenic Half Marathon & 8K (5 miler) trail races on Sunday for those looking for a more approachable trail experience! The Kids Race rounds out the weekend in heartwarming fashion on Sunday as well.
Whether racing, volunteering or spectating, join us up high on Wy'east (the native ancestral name for Mt. Hood) to honor the mountain, celebrate the sport of trail running and this incredible community. We’ll cheer and shout every single runner’s name at the finish as we celebrate with awards, great food, craft beverages, fun finish line games and activities up high at Mt. Hood Meadows.
