Haulin Aspen - August 8, 2026

Haulin Aspen is an all-trail running event near Bend, Oregon, based at Wanoga Sno Park on the Cascade Lakes Highway. The courses run through the Deschutes National Forest and begin at an elevation near 5,500 feet. The terrain includes single track, steep sections, and fast descents through a pine forest with scenic mountain views.

The event offers multiple distances on fully off-pavement trails:

26.2 Miles full marathon
13.1 Miles half marathon
6.5 Miles "Half As" course

A new three person relay covers the full marathon distance on the same trail course. Relay legs are approximately 9.6 miles for Runner 1, 11.7 miles for Runner 2, and 4.9 miles for Runner 3; the final leg finishes with an uphill return to the venue. Aid stations are positioned at key transitions along the course.

The description emphasizes trail conditions and elevation changes rather than timed starts. The setting is forested single track and mountain trails near Bend and the Cascade Range. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
