The Epic Grind

The annual Epic Grind obstacle race takes place at Henry Hagg Lake located in Gaston, Oregon. There are both 5K and 10K options, plus a Kids Run. The course is mostly run on dirt and grass trails through forest and fields. There are some short roadside sections for the 10K runners and their course includes several more obstacles than the 5K. The race takes you through beautiful forest and scenic fields and along the lake's edge in several sections. There are 19 obstacles that will have you climbing up and over, crawling through and under, jumping and pushing, dragging, bending, and balancing, you'll get a bit wet and dirty, and have a blast doing it! At the finish, you can enjoy a complementary microbrew in your Epic Grind pint glass that comes with your race entry. Then cool down with some food, good music and a maybe win some great stuff provided by our generous sponsors in our raffles throughout the day!
