This early season classic returns for another year! Since 2001, the Hagg Mud 50K/25K has challenged runners who like getting muddy! Starting at Henry Hagg Lake in Scoggins Valley Park near Gaston, Oregon, you will run a fantastic course around the lake and encounter lovely views, excellent trails, and a group of like-minded folks who still enjoy running in February. In 2025 both the 25K and 50K will be run entirely on Saturday, with a staggered start, so pick between one loop or two. Do you have what it takes… and maybe a couple extra pairs of running shoes?

Acknowledgments

The Hagg Mud 50K/25K acknowledges that these races occur on the ancestral lands of the Kalapuya, Clatskanie, and Atfalati, now part of the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde.

Race Information

At our running events, we strive to promote inclusivity and fairness for all participants. We specifically encourage first-timers and members of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities to participate. We are partnering with the Trail Mix Fund again this year, to increase access to trail running events. Please see our registration page on UltraSignUp for full details.

Cupless Aid Stations
This event is cupless. We will NOT provide paper cups at aid stations. Participants must bring their own handhelds, hydration packs, or reusable cups. Aid station workers will have pitchers to fill containers with water and electrolytes, and there will be rapid-fill spigots on most water jugs. Aid stations will include typical ultra fare: fruit, sweet and salty snacks, soda, gatorade and GU.

50K Cutoff Time
The cutoff for the first lap is noon. Any runner not through the start/finish line for their second lap will be unable to continue. You must be through the Dam Aid Station by 1:15 pm and through the Fenders Blue aid station by 3:00 pm. This is a 17:10 minute average pace per mile.

25K Cutoff Time
The 25K cutoffs are the same as the 50k, but with a shorter course and later start time. You will have 7.5 hours to complete the 15.5 mile course, an average pace of 29:00 per mile. 

50K Walker Policy
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate walkers for the 50K races. We must enforce strict cutoffs that require an average pace of 17:10 per mile in the 50K. The generous time limit in the 25K is better suited to those who wish to hike. We recommend the 25K race for first-timers who are unsure of their pace!

Prizes
The top three finishers of the 50k and 25k races in each category (female, male, non-binary) will receive prize awards. Those eligible for 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-year participation awards will also be honored. All finishers will receive a finisher prize and post-race feed with warm food, snacks and drinks.
