Hood Hundred
About the race
Welcome to Hood Hundred, a 100-mile mountain trail run featuring much of Mt. Hood's most diverse and famous terrain.
Staged at Mt. Hood Meadows ski area, Hood Hundred combines trail running community spirit with Daybreak's professional event production. Runners are supported by a well-marked course, professional medical coverage (not volunteers), radio communications, amply stocked and staffed aid stations and a major staging venue with amenities.
Here at Hood Hundred we celebrate the sport of trail running, honor the mountain and celebrate each other's accomplishments under the volcano's summit at the finish line.

Location
City insight: Mt. Hood
Mount Hood is an active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties, about 50 miles east-southeast of Portland, Oregon, USA. At 11,249 feet, it is the highest mountain in Oregon. Its cool, wet Pacific Northwest climate means late summer and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
