Lithia Loop Trail Marathon : Ashland, OR
The event offers three trail distances starting and finishing in Lithia Park in Ashland, Oregon. The full loop circumnavigates the Ashland watershed and accumulates about 7,200 feet of elevation change. Most of the course is on dirt roads and trails with roughly two miles of asphalt.
Distances:
- Marathon
- Mini marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10k trail run
Mini marathon and 10k runners start with marathon participants and follow the loop until course-specific deviations: 10k runners turn onto the Wonder Trail to descend back to Lithia Park; mini marathon runners follow a series of trails including Rickety Trail and 2060 Road before returning via the Wonder Trail. The course runs counter clockwise.
There are five staffed aid stations offering SKRATCH electrolyte drink and energy gels. Crew access is permitted at two locations on the course: mile 20 (Four Corners) and mile 23 (White Rabbit trailhead); participants must choose one location due to drive time between them. Parking and restrooms are available in Lithia Park.
Space is limited to the first 300 entrants. Registration is handled through Ultrasignup with early and after-deadline fees for each distance. There is an approximate six hour time limit. Awards for overall male and female winners are presented after the race near the start. No refunds are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
