Wood You Rather

Wood You Rather is a unique checkpoint running event organized by Go Beyond Racing, held in Forest Park, Portland. Participants receive a map with highlighted checkpoints and must strategize their route to collect as many as possible within a 2.5-hour timeframe. The race combines elements of trail running and orienteering, allowing runners to choose their paths, which can range from 7.5 to 11 miles.

Competitors can participate solo or in teams, with awards for the fastest times and most checkpoints. Each finisher receives a mug, and there are refreshments available at the finish line. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
