The Hoodoo Challenge: Run To The Top

The Hoodoo Challenge: Run To The Top is a trail running event in Sisters, Oregon. The half marathon returns for its tenth year and follows forested trails with views from the top of Potato Hill. After reaching the summit, runners descend the mountain for a hosted lunch and an awards ceremony at the Hoodoo Lodge parking area.

Distances offered:

• 1/2 Marathon
• Half Marathon Youth
• 5K
• 5K Youth

A separate 5K begins at the Hoodoo parking lot and finishes at the top of Hoodoo, providing a shorter trail option that also features scenic views. All participants receive a two for one lift ticket voucher for Hoodoo with their entry. Dri-fit race shirts and trucker-style logo hats are available for purchase at checkout for an additional $30; size must be specified for shirts.

Prizes include a season pass to Hoodoo for the top male and female finishers in both the half marathon and the 5K. Entry fees are listed as $65 for the half marathon with a late fee raising the price to $80 after June 12, $45 for the 5K, and $25 for junior runners under 18. The Sisters Kiwanis Club organizes the event and proceeds go to charity. Registration closes July 23 at 11:59 PM PT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
