This year we are conducting a fund raiser to donate a foot bridge in Scott's name to Forest Park. A portion of the race proceeds is designated for this cause. We also invite all PCT50/50 participants to make a tax-deductible donation to ORRC. ORRC will submit all donated funds to the non-profit "Friends of Forest Park" organization.
Donations can be submitted day of race. If you would like to mail your donation you can do so by sending it to Oregon Road Runners Club, Scott McQueeney Memorial, 4840 SW Western Ave. Suite 200, Beaverton, OR, 97005. Please let us know if you would like a receipt for your contribution.
50M race is full - no new registrants are being accepted for either race or for the wait list.(Race is limited to the first 150 registrants.) Starting time is: 6:30 a.m. An early start is available at 5:30 a.m. for the 50M race (over 12 hours to start). You are allowed to change distances before race start, just tell volunteers at the finish (no changes out on the course).
This run is part of the Oregon Trail Ultramarathon Race Series. The PCT 50 mile run is the second longest event in the trail series and as such, is a great chance to rack up points.
Co-race directors Olga Varlamova and Monika Gold bring you two beautiful races; entirely along Pacific Crest trail. We have the same course as last year, a great set of volunteers and every runner has a chance to spot bigfoot. Hope to see you at the starting line!
