Multnomah Falls Trail Run and Pine Hollow Tri

The old course in the Gorge is back with the Multnomah Falls Trail Run. This 5.6 mile loop through waterfall country is one of the most perfect race courses you'll ever find: steep enough to be a challenge to race, but short enough to enjoyably walk. Chicken tortilla soup, bagels, Small Town Roasters coffee and Halloween candy await finishers. Win a fifth of McMenamins' finest by wearing the best costume. There's also an after-party that evening you'll not want to miss.

Saturday, October 29, 2011, the Walk starts at 8:00, the Race starts at 9:00. Walkers will earn a finisher ribbon and be listed alphabetically. Racers will compete for 5-year age group ribbons and overall and masters trophies. Overall male and female winners will earn a spot for next year.
