Run The Rock

Run the Rock brings trail runners into the heart of Central Oregon’s most iconic landscapes. Both races showcase Smith Rock State Park and the Crooked River National Grasslands — places where cliffs tower above, the Cascade peaks fill the horizon, and singletrack trails seem endless. From Mt Hood in the north to Mt Bachelor in the south, you’ll see the best views the region has to offer.

The 50K takes runners across almost every trail in the park, including the climb up Misery Ridge and the jaw-dropping sight of Monkey Face. The half marathon delivers big climbs and sweeping views in a shorter but no less stunning adventure. With cupless aid stations, post-race meals, and a finish-line celebration, this is a race weekend that blends community, challenge, and scenery in one unforgettable package.
