Post Canyon Half Marathon in Hood River, Oregon
The Post Canyon Half Marathon is a trail race held at the Post Canyon Binns Hill Staging Area in Hood River, Oregon. The event is presented as the race's twelfth running and takes place on trails within the Hood River County Forestry Tree Farm. The course description notes about 2,300 ft of elevation gain, multiple mountain views toward Oregon and Washington, and small waterfalls at Bridge Creek crossings.
The event format includes two official aid stations plus additional bonus stations for entertainment and snacks. The race is cup less; racers must carry a personal water bottle (minimum 24 oz) or use a hydration pack. Pets and earbuds are not permitted on the course. Number pick up is on the morning of the race. Organizers do not release course maps in advance because the course may change for tree farm reasons; registered racers receive an email the Thursday before the race.
All finishers receive a finisher prize bag, and some participants may receive additional bonus prizes with retail values reported to range from $10 to $170. The event notes community involvement with volunteers on course, friends in costumes cheering at random locations, and a puppy petting popsicle station. The policy states there are no refunds, rollovers, or transfers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
