The Columbia Gorge Running Club invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to embark on the 17th annual Ridge Run 10-Miler. This point-to-point race goes up and over the scenic ridge between the towns of Carson and Stevenson, WA. It's a stout climb in both directions - so much so that Backwoods Brewing (in Carson) named a delicious oatmeal stout after this event.
Where:
The 2026 event starts at the Fairgrounds in Stevenson and ends at Backwoods Brewing in Carson. This is a point-to-point race, so you can either park at the Backwoods Cabins in Carson and carpool to the start in Stevenson, or find a ride back to the start after finishing.
There is not a shuttle to the start (or finish), so you will need to coordinate your own ride. It is highly recommended that you meet in Stevenson at 8am and carpool from there to the start.
Carpool details:
If you want to catch a ride to the start, meet at the Carson Cabins off Wind River Hwy in Carson at 8am. It takes at least 15 minutes to drive from there to the start point in Carson.
Race bib pick-up will be at the Exhibit Hall at the Skamania County Fairgrounds in Stevenson - be sure to be checked in before the race starts at 9am. If you bring a labeled bag, we can shuttle it to the finish for you.
Cost is $30 (increases to $40 on May 12)
