The 50K is designated as the 2026 USATF 50K Trail National Championship.

The registration fee covers a fully marked course, venue staging, parking, chip timing and results, staffed aid stations, medical support and communications, post race food and beverages, a custom finisher award and official photography. Race shirts and other add ons are not included.

A prize purse for the 50K is distributed to top finishers, with a stated nonbinary eligibility threshold for prize money. The event includes awards ceremonies, a raffle, and on-site post race food and beverage options at Mt. Hood Meadows.
