Gorge Waterfalls 100K & 50K

Welcome to Gorge Waterfalls, offering scenic 100K and 50K trail running races through the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Prior the Eagle Creek Fire in 2017, the Gorge Waterfalls 100K & 50K was one of the preeminent races in the Pacific Northwest, home to some of the best trail running terrain in the entire United States. After four years of cancellation and thousands of hours of trail restoration from numerous groups, the race is back, under new ownership, with a fresh vision, and new start/finish area along the banks of the Columbia River at Marine Park in Cascade Locks.

The event is now staged at beautiful Marine Park along the banks of the Columbia River in Cascade Locks, Oregon, approximately 40 minutes drive east of Portland. Marine Park offers a number of amenities, including ample parking, indoor space, expansive views up, down and across the river… and ahem, an entire island, Thunder Island, where we have special permission to allow participant camping!!!

Through the combined skillsets of Freetrail and Daybreak Racing, we will endeavor to deliver a premium quality race experience for our participants, filled with spectacular views, challenging trails, good vibes, and a fun finish line experience to celebrate human achievement.

Laughs, smiles, hugs and high fives are free. The registration fee includes a beautiful, fully marked race course (by the Race Director), awesome staging venue, parking, timing and results, full service aid stations, medical support and communications, post race food and beverages, custom finisher award, live music, professional photography and several other essential services and requirements we don’t need to mention.

The registration fee does not include a race shirt, hat or other add-on sales.
