The Ruff

Dog Mountain Trailhead

Carson, WA 7 Miler

This Event Took Place Sun. Oct 18, 2020

OVERVIEW

Welcome to The Ruff. The only race that runs up Dog Mountain in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It is a chance for you to test your lungs by running straight up 3miles (and 3000ft) to the summit of Dog Mountain and then testing your quads by bombing down 4 miles to the finish. You will have beautiful views of the Columbia River below, Mt Hood to the south and Mt St. Helens to the west. This is my favorite trail to run anywhere. You feel like you are high up in the Colorado mountains but get the benefit of thicker air to breathe!

BIB PICKUP
