Description:

Welcome to the Wy’east Howl on Mt. Hood! The Howl offers wildly scenic and challenging 50K and 28K trail running races high up on Wy’east (the native name for Mt. Hood, pronounced why-east) and its surrounding ridgelines, including the iconic Timberline Trail. As the only ultramarathons and trail half marathon held on the slopes of Mt. Hood proper, the event provides an incomparably up-close, unique and beautiful trail race experience.

The event is staged at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area, offering a family-friendly full service venue right on the mountain. Runners, friends and family are all treated to incredible views under the summit of Wy’east, with a proper celebration of every race finisher’s accomplishment together with awards, raffle prizes, excellent food, craft beverages, live music, scenic chairlift rides and fun activities at the lodge patio finish line.
The 14K course is Friday, July 21 with a high noon start! The course offers a world class loop-style route on volcanic alpine trails for a very challenging mountain race, starting at Mt. Hood Meadows at 5400’ elevation, climbing up to 8000’ on the volcano before descending back down for the finish. The course is as grueling as it is beautiful. Elevation change involves a whopping 2,700′ of gain and 2,700′ of loss in just 8.9 miles, crossing a full spectrum of PNW terrain, from forested, smooth dirt singletrack to steep, technical, exposed and sometimes scrambly, bouldery trails. Spectacular views abound from start to finish!
