Hagg Mud 50K/25K, Gaston, Oregon
Hagg Mud is an early season trail event held at Henry Hagg Lake in Scoggins Valley Park near Gaston, Oregon. The event offers two distance options:
- 50K
- 25K
Both races begin with a group start at the C-Ramp parking area, a short section of single track, and a passage through the Sain Creek pavilion and parking area. Each course includes an out-and-back section on gravel road that contains the largest elevation change on the route. The 50K follows the lake counterclockwise twice; the 25K completes the loop once. Aid stations are located along the course at the Dam and Fenders Blue as well as the start/finish area, with the 50K passing multiple stations per lap and the 25K served by two main stations.
Logistics and race services include a covered bag drop area, warming and changing tents at the finish, post-race food and drinks, and a complimentary parking voucher. The event is CUPLESS; runners should bring a handheld, hydration pack, or reusable cup for refills. Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in each gender division, and all finishers receive commemorative finisher socks.
The race acknowledges that it takes place on the ancestral lands of the Kalapuya, Clatskanie, and Atfalati. Due to bridge damage there is an ongoing trail relocation and planned trail work parties on January 24, February 7, February 22, and March 29, 2026. The event partners with the Trail Mix Fund to offer scholarship support for entry fees and maintains a gender inclusion policy that lets entrants select men, women, or nonbinary divisions with registration selections accepted as submitted. The event has a no refund policy and allows limited transfers between distances when available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
