Haulin' Aspen : mountain trail running in the Deschutes National Forest
Haulin' Aspen is a trail running event that uses high-elevation single track and forest service roads in the Deschutes National Forest. All courses begin and end at Wanoga Sno-Park, located at approximately 5,500 feet. Terrain includes wooded stretches, rocky and dusty trails, rolling profiles, and notable elevation changes.
Event options:
- 26.2-mile full all-trail marathon
- Half marathon
- 6.5-mile Half As
- Three-person marathon relay with three distinct course legs
The marathon course has six aid stations positioned so runners pass two stations twice for eight aid opportunities; approximate mile locations include 2.4, 4.7, 9.7, 12.7, 15.3, 19.1, 21.3 and 24. The half marathon offers three aid stations with one passed twice for four aid opportunities. The Half As course includes two aid stations. Marathoners and relay teams should note an approximately 700 foot vertical gain between miles 21.5 and 24, with an aid station at the start and end of that climb.
Logistics mentioned by the organizer include packet pick up at Footzone in Downtown Bend the day before the race and a gear drop area on race morning. A post-race celebration is held at Wanoga Sno-Park with music, food, a beer option, and local vendors. The event operates under a special use permit from the Deschutes National Forest.
