Mac Forest Trail Run

Come join us for the 28th running of the Mac Forest Trail Runs. Beautiful trails and logging roads will take you through the majestic McDonald Forest. Whether an experienced trail runner, or a first timer, we believe you will enjoy every minute of the race. Of course, our definition of enjoy may not match everyone’s.

Proceeds from the races will benefit local high school cross-country athletes and teams, and further the mission of the Oregon Running Foundation (“ORF”) to help move the lives of youth forward through the power of running. By providing opportunities, inspiration and shoes, ORF strives to help youth turn their potential into fulfillment.
