Haulin’ Aspen participants will enjoy spectacular single track and forest service roads beginning and ending at Wanoga Sno-Park at an elevation of 5500 feet. The course weaves through the rolling terrain of the Deschutes National Forest offering stunning views.
There will be several elevation changes, so come ready for a challenge. Marathoners will experience a 700-foot vertical gain from mile 21.5 to mile 24. All courses have their ups and downs!
Trails may be dusty and rocky in places, with temperatures cool in the early morning but rising quickly during the day, so it may be wise to carry your own water and energy products and wear sturdier shoes and gaiters, just to play it safe.
🚨 NEW THIS YEAR 🚨
The Haulin’ Aspen full marathon introduces a three-person relay option, giving teams the chance to experience the full 26.2 mile all-trail course together. The race begins and Wanoga Sno Park, where Runner 1 takes on the first 9.6 miles to Transition 1 at Aid Station 3. Runner 2 then covers the longest leg – approximately 11.7 miles – continuing along the course to Transition 2 at Aid Station 7 (mile 21.3). From there Runner 3 tackles the final 4.9 mile stretch – an uphill push back to the finish at Wanoga. This new format offers a dynamic way to share the challenge while still taking in the scenic, high-elevation terrain of the course.
