2027 RUN FESTIVAL -
We have some exciting news to share!
As many of you know, the 2026 Bridge of the Gods Run was canceled after a major February storm triggered a landslide that buried sections of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. While it was an incredibly disappointing outcome, we're thrilled to announce that the trail has officially been cleared and reopened.
This would not have been possible without the tremendous efforts of Oregon State Parks, who led the charge from the very beginning, the Oregon Department of Transportation, who contracted the crews to safely remove the slide, and the U.S. Forest Service, who permitted the work on their land. Their dedication to making this iconic trail accessible again deserves our sincere gratitude.
With the trail open once more, we're excited to announce that the 2027 Bridge of the Gods Run is officially scheduled for August 7–8, 2027!
Registration opens Thursday, October 8th at 8 am.
We can't wait to welcome you back to the Bridge of the God's Run and celebrate the return of one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular running events.
Thank you again for sticking with us—we're looking forward to seeing you at the starting line next August!
See you on the trail,
