Post Canyon Half Marathon, Hood River OR
The event on August 22, 2026 is a trail 1/2 Marathon held at the Post Canyon - Binns Hill Staging Area in Hood River, Oregon. The course is on Hood River County Forestry land and start and finish are located at the Binns Hill Staging Area.
The trail route includes about 2,300 feet of elevation gain, multiple mountain views toward Oregon and Washington, and mini waterfalls at Bridge Creek crossings. The race operates as a cupless event. There are two official aid stations and additional informal stations that provide snacks and entertainment along the course.
All racers must carry a water bottle of at least 24 ounces or use a hydration pack. Pets are not allowed and earbuds are prohibited on the course. Number pick up occurs on the morning of the race. Organizers do not publish a course map in advance because the course may change due to forestry operations; registered racers will receive an email the Thursday before the event.
The organizer provides a finisher prize bag for each racer and awards bonus prizes for random contests ranging from $10 to $170 in retail value. Camping is available about 15 minutes away at Kingsley Reservoir. Registration closes Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT. No refunds, rollovers, or transfers are allowed.
