About the Happy Girls Sisters
The half marathon heads into the Deschutes National Forest on single-track trail, climbing through open terrain with long views of the surrounding landscape. The shorter road distances wind through downtown, and all three routes finish on a campus shaded by old-growth Ponderosa pines. The trail race fills up well before race day, so early registration matters.
The finish area is on the FivePine campus, which gives the end of the race a distinct feel: tall pines overhead, enough room to spread out, and a natural gathering spot for everyone coming in off both the trail and the road courses.

The Happy Girls Sisters has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
