Big News: Three Corner Rock 50K Joins the Twisted Laces Family!
We are beyond stoked to announce that the Three Corner Rock 50K is officially part of the Twisted Laces Running lineup. It’s a true honor to carry the torch for this legendary point-to-point trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, connecting the high Cascades to the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.
And yes—the "spectacular detour" is here to stay. You’ll still hit the summit of Three Corner Rock for those iconic, 360-degree views of the Cascade volcanoes.
Respecting the Roots
Formerly known as the PCT Bunker to Bonneville 50K, this race is a cornerstone of the PNW trail community. Having spent years both running and volunteering at this event, we know firsthand how vibrant and welcoming this crew is. We aren't just taking over a race; we’re joining a tradition.
The Course
Expect pure single-track magic. This route delivers:
Challenging Climbs: Earn those views with classic PNW elevation.
Flowy Descents: Long, sweeping downhill sections through huckleberry-filled forests.
The Finish: A scenic descent into North Bonneville, WA, right on the edge of the Columbia River.
We can't wait to see you out on the PCT. Let’s keep the tradition running!
50K by the numbers
Ascent: 5,737 Feet
Prepare to embrace the "Vantucky Vertical" as you grind up climbs that’ll have your quads questioning every life choice you’ve ever made.
Descent: 6,854 Feet
Let gravity do the dirty work on these screaming-fast downhills, but keep your eyes peeled unless you want to become one with the huckleberries.
Cutoff: 9 Hours
Move like you’ve got a post-race brew waiting for you, because our sweepers are friendly, but they aren't waiting for the moss to grow.
Single-track: 26.7 Miles
We’re talking pure, unadulterated dirt gold—narrow enough to feel the forest’s embrace and technical enough to keep you honest.
Pavement: 1.6 Miles
You might see a fleeting glimpse of the hard stuff, but don't worry, we'll get you back to the mud before your soul starts to wither.
Dirt Road: 2.7 Miles
It’s just enough room to run side-by-side and swap trail stories, right before the single-track humbles you back into a silent, breathless line.
Total Mileage: 31 Miles
It’s a long, strange trip from the Cascades to the Gorge, measured in 50 kilometers of sweat, stoke, and "are we there yet" moments.
