Wy'east Wonder

Wy'east Wonder Race

The Wy'east Wonder is a point to point trail race on the east side of Mt Hood that uses two main ridges, Gunsight Ridge and Surveyor's Ridge. The event offers multiple distances and a 50K relay added for 2026. The courses follow ridgeline singletrack with extensive views of Wy'east and move from the mountain's southern side around to the east.

The two main distances have significant elevation change and are overall net downhill courses. The 50 Mile course records about 7,600 feet of gain and 10,600 feet of loss. The 50K course records about 4,300 feet of gain and 7,200 feet of loss. Many of the courses include a long descent concentrated near the end.

Registration fees vary by distance and registration period; examples include $155 to $185 for the 50 mile, $130 to $175 for the 50K, and $170 to $230 per team for the 50K relay. A wait list is available when the race is full. There are no refunds and no bib transfers, and cancellations more than 30 days before the race receive a 50 percent credit toward a future event.

The event is based at Red Barn Park in Parkdale for parking and shuttle service. Bib pickup is offered Friday evening and on race morning at Red Barn Park; photo ID is required and there is no bib pickup at the start. The finish area returns runners to Red Barn Park and provides food and beverages, live finish results, awards for the top three men, women, and non binary finishers, age group prizes, and a finisher pint glass.

The race occurs on National Forest trails that are multi use; horses may be encountered. The organizers acknowledge the traditional homelands of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, the Wasco, and the Wishram Tribes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
