Epic fall trails and roaring river adventure in the Oregon Cascades

Epic fall trails and roaring river adventure in the Oregon Cascades

Overview

The Rogue Gorge is a trail running celebration like no other, showcasing the wild beauty of Oregon’s most iconic river. Set in peak fall colors, runners weave through old growth forests and race alongside a river that carves through lava tubes, gorges, and waterfalls. The crisp mountain air, the roar of whitewater, and the glow of autumn leaves create a backdrop that feels magical and unforgettable.

In 2025, the race introduces a brand new 50 miler point-to-point adventure, while the 50K, Half Marathon, and 12K return with their beloved singletrack charm. Whether you want to push your endurance deep in the wilderness, or soak up a shorter scenic run, Rogue Gorge offers something for everyone; racers, crews, and visitors alike.
