Three Corner Rock PCT Trail Races

The legendary 50k classic and a new 100k distance!

Both point-to-point along the Pacific Crest Trail from the South Washington Cascades to the iconic Columbia River Gorge!

Saturday, July 19, 2025

Wonderland Running is beyond excited to be welcoming Three Corner Rock 50k to their family of trail races!!!!! We are honored and humbled to carry on the tradition of this incredible point-to-point journey along the legendary Pacific Crest Trail from the Cascades to the Columbia River Gorge. Of course, you also get the short, spectacular detour to the namesake Three Corner Rock for sweeping 360 degree views of majestic Cascade Range volcanoes.

Formerly known as PCT Bunker to Bonneville 50K, this race has a long history in the Columbia River Gorge, and I am fortunate to have both run & volunteered for this race. The community built over the years by this race is vibrant and wonderful. The course itself is singletrack magic in its own right. It features its share of beautiful climbs punctuated with long, sweeping, huckleberry-filled descents as you make your way to North Bonneville, WA and the iconic Columbia River Gorge.

Now in our second year of directing this incredible race, we are in the middle of the permitting process for two amazing changes to this event!!!

We are moving the date to Saturday, July 19, 2025. With the moving of the Dark Divide Trail Races to early September, this gives more space for planning both events. It also avoids the peak season for northbound PCT thru-hikers.

We are adding a 100k distance option. This incredible point-to-point addition begins near Indian Heaven Wilderness and heads south on the PCT, before taking the breathtakingly panoramic ridgeline between Huckleberry Mountain & Grassy Knoll. The course then returns along a lovely Forest Service Road to the PCT, joining the classic 50k course down to the finish in the park at North Bonneville in the Columbia River Gorge!

Due to the unfortunate burden placed upon the hard-working people of Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the updated permit is taking longer than anticipated. We are hopeful that registration for the 2025 event can open sometime in April. We will update this as soon as we know!

Three Corner Rock Trail Races takes place upon ancestral lands that are significant to many peoples, including the Yakama, Klickitat, Wasco, Wishram, and Umatilla tribes. Wonderland Running offers free race registration to all Native American runners.65
