Haulin’ Aspen participants will enjoy spectacular single track and forest service roads beginning and ending at Wanoga Sno-Park at an elevation of 5500 feet. The course weaves through the Deschutes National Forest offering stunning views and rolling terrain amongst the Ponderosa pines.
There will be several elevation changes, so come ready for challenging terrain. Marathoners should be prepared for a 700-foot vertical gain from mile 21.5 to mile 24. All courses have their ups and downs!
Trails can get dusty and are rocky in places, so you may consider sturdier shoes and gaiters. Temperatures can get very hot (cool in the early morning) during the summer, so it may be wise to carry your own water and energy products just to play it safe. (See aid station info below.)
The best way to prepare for the Haulin’ Aspen is with smart training and by studying the course maps, including the elevation profiles. (See all course maps below.) Ask questions before you show up on race day, since most of our staff will be busy getting everything ready for you.
