The biggest party at Smith Rock!
Run the Rock hosts the only 50M trail race within Smith Rock State Park. Along with our 50K, 20M, and Half Marathon - we cap off each race season here in our backyard!
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Run The Rock, offering spectacular 50mile, 20mile, 50K and half marathon loop-style trail races within Smith Rock State Park and the Crooked River National Grasslands, located near Bend, Oregon. All courses offer amazing views of the Cascade Range - from Mt Hood in the north to Mt Bachelor in the south. You will pass the sheer rock faces at Smith Rock State Park - famous for rock climbing - and the unique beauty of the Crooked River National Grasslands.
