Come run for a good cause! Participate in the Run with Heart 5k and support Operation Warm Heart, a program that provides essential home energy assistance to individuals and families in our community experiencing financial difficulties.

Presented by Skamania PUD, The Columbia Gorge Running Club, and Skamania Lodge, this 5k race will start and finish at the Riverview Pavilion at Skamania Lodge and loop around the grounds on paved golf cart paths. This is a unique opportunity to run on golf cart paths that are generally not open to pedestrians. You will enjoy some amazing views of the Columbia River Gorge while making your way around the lovely grounds at the Lodge, have an opportunity to win great prizes donated by Skamania Lodge, all while helping raise funds for those in need. 100% of race proceeds and additional donations will go to Operation Warm Heart for residents in Skamania County.

Registration is $25 (Youth 18 and younger are FREE) with an option to donate more for the cause.

Race starts at 9 am. Check-in will be available starting at the Riverview Pavilion at 8 am. Course map

Let's come together! Whether you're an avid runner or just looking for a meaningful way to give back, the Run with Heart offers the perfect opportunity to help our neighbors in need.

The Columbia Gorge Running Club invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to embark on the 16th 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 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 at the Backwoods Cabins in Carson (there is a large parking area just past the pub across Wind River Hwy that will have a parking sign) at 8am and carpool from there to the start.

Cost is $30. Increases to $35 after May 12.
