Hardesty Hardcore
Hardesty Hardcore is a trail run hosted by Level 32 Racing at the Hardesty Trailhead west of Oakridge, Oregon, held on Sunday, July 26, 2026. The event is part of the Run Big Trail Series and offers two single track distances.
- 14 mile course, starts and finishes at Hardesty Trailhead, 100% single track.
- 5.5 mile course, starts at South Creek Trailhead and finishes at Hardesty Trailhead.
The 14 mile course climbs approximately 3,300 feet in the first 4.5 miles, descends about 3,300 feet in the next 4 miles, and then rolls for the final 5.5 miles. The 14 mile event has a four hour time limit. The 5.5 mile course features gradual ascents and descents and sections with technical footing.
Aid stations stock water, an electrolyte beverage, and light snacks; for the 14 mile course these are located near miles 3, 4.5, 8.5, and 12, and the 5.5 mile course has an aid station near mile 3.5. Shuttle service is provided to the 5.5 mile start and there is no parking at that start; parking at Hardesty Trailhead is limited and additional roadside parking along Goodman Creek Road is used.
Entry fees are $50 for the 14 mile and $40 for the 5.5 mile, which includes the shuttle. Youth 17 and under and adults 60 and over receive a $5 deduction. A $5 fee applies for race day registration. Online registration is open until midnight on July 25, 2026, and in-person registration is available at Run Hub NW through Saturday, July 25, at noon. Event shirts are available for purchase for an additional fee. The event has a participant limit due to parking, shuttle capacity, and single-track trail constraints.
