Post Canyon Half Marathon

Welcome to Never Never Land, where trail running meets whimsy and adventure. Nestled in Hood River, Oregon, this 12th-anniversary edition promises an unforgettable experience for runners of all stripes. The race is more than just a competition; it's a celebration where everyone wins.
Each participant will receive a generous finisher prize bag that far exceeds the entry fee’s value, filled with goodies from local businesses and brand sponsors. Some lucky racers might also snag bonus prizes through random contests throughout the event, ranging in retail value from $10 to $170.
The race takes place on the scenic trails of Hood River County Forestry Tree Farm, offering a mix of rugged terrain and breathtaking views across both Oregon and Washington states. With approximately 2,300 feet of elevation gain, runners can expect varied landscapes that include mini waterfalls along Bridge Creek crossings. The course is designed to be challenging yet fun, with two official aid stations providing essential support.
Local volunteers will cheer you on from various spots along the route, adding an extra layer of excitement and community spirit. After crossing the finish line at Binns Hill Staging Area, runners can enjoy a well-deserved break and partake in local businesses' offerings using their DESTINY redemption card.
This year's event is also proud to be cup-less, encouraging all participants to carry water bottles or hydration packs with them during the race. To ensure everyone’s safety and respect for wildlife, no pets are allowed on course but racers can unleash their inner wild animal self as they navigate through this enchanting forest setting.
Camping options are available just 15 minutes away at newly opened Kingsley Reservoir Campground, making it easy to extend your stay in Hood River. The race website provides all necessary details and updates leading up to the event.
Join us for a day of trail running that’s as much about camaraderie and fun as it is about pushing personal limits. From quirky costumes to puppy petting stations, this unique race offers something truly special for every participant.
