2009 Oregon Mountain, Ultra & Trail Racing Calendar

The 2009 Oregon Mountain, Ultra & Trail Racing Calendar has been completed. According to my research there are 44 such races in Oregon this year. There might be more I don't know about so if you don't see one you know about, please let me know and I'll add it to the calendar.

Many of the old standby races are back in 2009 including the Mt. Ashland Hillclimb run which is now in it's 32nd year. Also back are the 7 ultra distance races in the Oregon Trail Ultramarathon Series which includes the Where's Waldo 100k which is also the USA 100k Trail Running National Championship. Another USA Trail Championship has come to Oregon in the form of the 2nd Annual Lithia Loop Trail Marathon. Organized by the Rogue Valley Runners, this race was designated the USA Trail Marathon National Championships last month by the USA Track & Field's MUT Council.
