Post Canyon Half Marathon

Post Canyon Half Marathon is held on August 14, 2027, in Hood River, Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge, starting at 7:00 a.m. The half marathon (13.1 mi) crosses the ridges and forests above the town.

The Gorge is famous for its wind, which in August is a blessing rather than an obstacle — it keeps the temperature down on climbs that would otherwise be punishing. Ridge courses mean sustained ascents rather than rolling ones: settle into a climbing rhythm early, walk if your breathing outruns your legs, and save something for a descent that will be faster than you expect.
