Rogue Gorge

Rogue Gorge : Union Creek, Oregon : October 17 to 18, 2026

Rogue Gorge is a trail running event in Union Creek, Oregon, staged near the Union Creek Amphitheater and Picnic Shelter along the Upper Rogue Wild and Scenic River. The event uses the Rogue Gorge Trail and the Upper Rogue River Trail, a National Recreation Trail, and runs beside river canyons formed by ancient volcanic activity and river erosion.

Distances offered:

• 50 Miler: 99% singletrack; point to point; 4000 ft ascent and 5900 ft descent; 6 aid stations.
• 50K: 99% singletrack; mostly point to point; 31.0 miles; 3000 ft ascent and 3000 ft descent; 4 aid stations.

The landscape reflects the legacy of the Mt. Mazama eruption about 7,700 years ago, with basalt canyons, lava tube features, waterfalls and sections where the river runs underground. Trails pass through old growth forest containing Douglas fir, ponderosa pine and sugar pine.

The event is produced by Daybreak Racing. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Siskiyou Mountain Club, which works on regional trail restoration, maintenance and promotion. Registration opens April 1, 2026 at 6:00 AM PT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
