Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA

Running in Portland means Forest Park, a 5,200-acre urban forest with 80+ miles of trails rising 1,000 feet above the city center—the Forest Park Gravel & Trail Challenge tests serious trail runners on technical terrain. Road runners have the flat Willamette riverbank paths downtown and steady climbing routes into the West Hills, with the region's temperate, wet winters ideal for year-round training. Cyclists dominate the gravel scene here; the Forest Park Gravel & Trail Challenge and Het Meer CX draw regional competitors, while longer routes hit the rolling farmland east toward Hood River (80km) or descend into the Columbia River Gorge's switchbacks and canyon roads.
