Event overview
Wood You Rather takes place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at Mt Tabor Park (SE 60th Ave & Salmon St) in Portland, OR. The event has a capacity of 200 participants. It is produced by Go Beyond Racing, an organizer that stages over three dozen trail races per year.
Format and distances
This event is a checkpoint run. Runners receive a map at the start with checkpoints marked. Participants have two hours to visit as many checkpoints as they can and return to the finish before the course closes. Winners in the individual and team categories are ranked first by number of checkpoints found and then by time.
- 8 Miler
- 3 Person Team
- 4 Person Team
- 5 Person Team
- 6 Person Team
Teams may have 3 to 6 members. For team scoring, all team members’ times are averaged and the fastest average wins. Depending on chosen route, participants can expect to run around 5-8+ miles. The map is simple and a compass is not required. Coffee, donuts, and a finisher mug are provided at the finish.
Registration closes Saturday, May 9 at 6:00 PM PT. Results are published by the organizer and reflect both checkpoints and time.
