Lithia Loop Trail Marathon - Ashland, OR
The Lithia Loop Trail Marathon is a loop trail event in Ashland, Oregon, organized by Rogue Valley Runners and scheduled for November 7, 2026. The course combines hard surface and backcountry sections and gains and loses substantial elevation.
The loop course comprises 2 miles of pavement, 3 miles of double-track trail, 6 miles of single-track trail, and 15 miles of closed-course dirt road. The route climbs over 3,000 feet in the first 10 miles and descends roughly the same amount in the final 6 miles. November weather has varied; finish conditions can be sunny and near 60 degrees, but light to moderate rain or snow at higher elevations is possible.
Entry includes a technical garment, a medal, and a finishers meal. The event offers multiple distances:
- Marathon
- Half-Marathon
- Mini Marathon
- 10k Trail Run
The Mini Marathon and 10k follow the Loop course counterclockwise with course deviations: 10k runners turn onto the Wonder Trail and follow the lower Wonder Trail back to Lithia Park; Mini Marathon participants deviate via Rickety Trail, 2060 Road and upper Wonder Trail before returning to Lithia Park. Registration availability and fees vary; registration closes November 5 at 11:59 PM PT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
