No Strollers – no
bicycles – no roller blades -

participate unaided.
The Marathon / Half Marathon races start and
finish at the same location (Big River Golf Course - 709 Willamette St Umatilla, OR
(97882). Both races reach McNary Dam just
after the first mile. With a 5 mile loop on the Washington State side
you come back over to Oregon on the pedestrian path over the Hwy 82
Bridge and back by the McNary Dam. You then climb back up to the start;
the Half Marathon will turn back at the 11.5 mile mark and finish at
Big River Golf Course. Highest Elevation at 460 ft to a low of 285
ft.
The Marathon continues on back down to the Columbia
River and along the Lewis and Clark Trail which links up to Hat Rock
State Park, although this is a flat section of the course it will be
challenging running on the soft surface trail between 13 and 18 miles.
It’s a good time to take it easy and enjoy the beauty of the Columbia
River. After leaving Hat Rock State Park you will turn back towards
Umatilla running along the mostly flat Columbia River Hwy. This
marathon is challenging but beautiful.
