Cancelled Event
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
About the event
Dear Hoodoo Challenge Participants,
We’re sorry to share that, after consulting with a wildland fire incident support team, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend’s Hoodoo Challenge 5K and Half Marathon due to wildfire smoke.
Current air quality is in the unhealthy range, and the latest forecasts indicate those conditions are expected to continue through the weekend. While we've been fortunate to enjoy nine years of great race-day weather, this year had other plans.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this cancellation may cause. The safety and health of our runners, volunteers, and community will always be our highest priority.
Because the Hoodoo Challenge is a fundraiser for Sisters Kiwanis, we would be deeply grateful if you would consider allowing your registration fee to become a donation. Your support helps us continue our work serving youth in our community.
If you would prefer a credit toward next year's race or a refund, we are happy to accommodate that. We are currently finalizing the process and ask that you email your preference—donation, race credit, or refund—to rfox0428@gmail.com.
If you ordered a race shirt or hat, we will contact you separately with details about pickup or delivery.
Thank you for your understanding, your support, and for being part of the Hoodoo Challenge community. We truly appreciate each of you and look forward to welcoming you back next year under clearer skies.
Sincerely,
The Hoodoo Challenge Team

The Hoodoo Challenge half marathon is back for the 10th year! The course follows scenic forested trails with amazing views from the top of Potato Hill. Runners will then walk back down the mountain for a hosted lunch and awards ceremony at the Hoodoo Lodge parking area.
There is also 5K race that will begin at the Hoodoo parking lot and end at the top of Hoodoo. This trail also offers scenic views and is a great option for runners and walkers that don't want to take on the half marathon course.
All participants will receive a 2-for-1 lift ticket voucher for Hoodoo with their entry. Trucker-style logo'ed race hats are available for purchase at checkout for an additional $30 (be sure to specify size for t-shirts). Additionally, the top male and female finishers for both the half marathon and 5K will win a season pass to Hoodoo. Price for the 1/2 marathon is $65 ($80 for late registration after 6/12) and $45 for the 5K. Junior runners (under 18 years old) can participate in either race for $25. These races are being put on by the Sisters Kiwanis Club and all proceeds go to charity.
Event's current local time: 10:49 AM PT
