Event details
The Wy’east Wonder is a point-to-point trail race near Mt. Hood offered in two distances:
- 50 Miler
- 50K
The event is based at Red Barn Park in Parkdale, Oregon, and has a combined capacity of 500 participants. Registration opens December 1, 2025 and uses tiered fees that increase as the race date approaches. The race acknowledges the traditional homelands of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, the Wasco, and the Wishram Tribes.
Course and logistics
Both courses run mostly on two ridges - Gunsight Ridge and Surveyor’s Ridge - around Wy’east (Mt. Hood), finishing into the orchards of the Hood River Valley near Parkdale. Elevation change is substantial; the 50M has about 7,000 ft of gain and 10,000 ft of loss, while the 50K has about 4,000 ft of gain and 7,000 ft of loss. The race takes place on National Forest multi-use trails where horses may be encountered.
All parking is at Red Barn Park; there is no parking at the start or finish. Shuttles transport runners to the start and back to Red Barn Park after the finish. Bib pickup is at Red Barn Park (Friday evening or race morning) and photo ID is required. The finish area includes food and beverages, live results, awards for top finishers and age groups, and a commemorative pint glass for each finisher.
