Lithia Loop Trail Marathon
The event on Saturday, November 7, 2026 in Ashland, OR offers three trail race distances. All courses start and finish in Lithia Park and follow the loop around the Ashland watershed.
- Marathon
- Mini-Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10k Trail Run
The full loop accumulates about 7,200 feet of elevation change and is run mainly on dirt roads and trails with approximately two miles of asphalt. The 10k course turns onto the Wonder Trail to descend back to Lithia Park. Mini marathon runners follow the loop past Lower Horn Gap, take Ricketey Trail up to the 2060 Road junction, descend 2060, continue on the 300 Road and enter the upper Wonder Trail to return to Lithia Park.
Facilities at the start include parking and bathrooms. There are five well stocked aid stations on the course offering SKRATCH electrolyte drink and energy gels. Crew access is provided at two locations: mile 20 (Four Corners) and mile 23 (White Rabbit); attendees are asked to choose one location because of drive time between them.
Space is limited to the first 300 entrants. Entry fees vary by distance and by registration date; there are no refunds. Special awards will be presented to overall male and female winners after the race near the start. An approximate six hour time limit applies.
