Three Corner Rock PCT Trail Races

About the Event

The Three Corner Rock PCT Trail Races return to Carson, Washington on September 12th, offering runners a stunning point-to-point journey along the Pacific Crest Trail from South Washington Cascades to the iconic Columbia River Gorge.
On race morning, participants gather at The Little Church in the Valley in Stabler, WA. Starting near sunrise when temperatures are cooler and skies clear, racers will experience firm but slightly soft trail conditions as they embark on their 50K journey through some of the most scenic terrain Washington has to offer. With a UV index of around moderate (3.5), runners can expect bright sunlight without the risk of severe sunburn.
This race holds significant tradition and community value in Carson, Washington. The Three Corner Rock PCT Trail Races have been running for years as part of the Columbia Gorge Running legacy, serving both to celebrate the beauty and challenge of long-distance trail racing on the Pacific Crest Trail and to support local causes. A portion of proceeds from each race registration goes towards funding scholarships and equipment for Stevenson High School's Cross Country Team. Additionally, a donation is made to the Pacific Crest Trail Association in recognition of their work preserving this iconic hiking route.
