The Cumby Trail Race 2027
The Cumby is a trail running event held in Cumberland that features multiple race distances and supports the Cumberland Community Forest. The 2027 edition is scheduled for Saturday, May 1, 2027 and will use routes in the Cumberland Hills and Eastern Block with single track and rolling terrain. The start area and Race Central are located at Village Park among Douglas fir trees.
Race offerings include:
- 25 km Full Cumby
- 16 km Half Cumby
- 8.5 km Quarter Cumby
- 4.5 km The Cumbino
- 7.5 km virtual option held the day before and after the official race day
Course notes indicate the routes will be completely runnable and that the start allows competitors to spread out before an early climb. The event places emphasis on youth participation, with lower registration fees for athletes under 19, a shorter 4.5 km youth course, and additional youth medal categories.
The Cumby collects funds for local conservation work; over the past decade registrations and donations have raised more than $271,000, and recent post race contributions have exceeded $40,000. Organizing roles and race operations involve a community volunteer program including aid station staff, familiarization run leaders, first aid attendants, course sweepers, and logistics support.
