Day of Event
Conquer the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. Discover the Hidden Trails.
The Marys Peak Trail Run is more than a race—it's an unforgettable journey through some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain in Oregon, with exclusive access to private trails that only open after weeks of dedicated trail clearing each spring on Starker Forests Land.
NEW for this year: The 100K distance!
Ready to take your endurance to the next level? The 100K course is a true mountain ultra—gritty, gorgeous, and rewarding—with over 12,000 feet of elevation gain across rarely traveled singletrack, forest roads, and sweeping ridgelines. It’s your chance to summit Mary's Peak twice! The 50K is one loop and the 100K is two. The key factor is if you're on the edge for the 100K finish, you can downgrade to the 50K for scoring, or get out and take on possibly the toughest course in the PNW.
50K is simply the perfect day of trail running with one full summit
25K is fun, challenging and well work the effort to take on this distance.

About
One of the Signature Trail Events in the Pacific Northwest
Located just 20 minutes west of Corvallis and 35 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, Marys Peak rises as the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range—delivering expansive views of the Cascades to the east and the Pacific to the west.
Each year, trail runners gather here to take on a raw, rugged, and unforgettable challenge across remote terrain that's only accessible thanks to special access and trail clearing efforts each spring.
Choose Your Challenge
🏔️ 100K – New in 2026, this beast of a course replaces the former 50 miler and is one of the most demanding and beautiful ultras in the U.S. With steep climbs, relentless roots and rocks, and over 12,000 feet of gain, it’s a true mountain ultra that delivers on every level.
⛰️ 50K – A powerful single-summit course that captures everything you love about trail running: forested ridgelines, technical descents, and stunning alpine views.
🌲 25K – Don’t let the shorter distance fool you. This is the second half of the 100K and 50K course—arguably the most challenging section. It’s the perfect way to join the fun with less pressure and maximum beauty.
