Timberline Trail Running Club has taken over the Great NW Mt Run for X-Dog Events,
renaming it the Timberline Mt Run. Race check-in and registration starts at 8:30am upstairs, on the outside patio
of the Wy'East Day Lodge.....................
|
|
We welcome Oregon Active back again this year to join in the fun. They'll be on
the trail and, weather and access permitting, manning the Palmer Chairlift Aid Station at 7000 feet.
|
|
It's official - the Timberline Mt Run is the highest race in Oregon. We measured
the course, and our shoes are now soggy. But it will be dry and warm in August, so we'll be running with our shirts
off. Come join us.

Here is a Garmin map of the 2011 course. The 2012 course
will change slightly, with a finish under the balcony of Wy'East Lodge. (The 2011 course had to be modified due
to construction.) The mileage isn't accurate on this take, as the ravine loses satellite reception, but you get
a good idea of the altitude and elevation.
|
|
The race will cover 6 to 8 miles of diverse and challenging terrain including
roads, trail, and natural mountain slopes.There will be some significant elevation gain and loss from altitudes
between 5600 to 7000 feet. There will be one water aid station on the course (weather and access permitting) located
approximately half-way, at the turn-around at the top.
|
|
Awards will be given to the top three overall, top masters, and first place in
each age group. The awards ceremony will on the patio, upstairs at the Day Lodge, overlooking the finish line,
around 12:30pm. And for all you hot dogs, there will be beer and hot dogs.
|
|
In addition, there will be Team Awards. The categories are Women's (all female),
Mixed (less than 50% male), and Men's / Open. Scoring will be a combination of placement and participation, so
the larger your team, the better chance you have of winning.
