About the 2026 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.

Common Questions About the 2026 Happy Girls Sisters

Will I finish last at the 2026 Happy Girls Sisters?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:34:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:10:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2026 Happy Girls Sisters a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 210 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2026 Happy Girls Sisters?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:32:23 while the median finisher took 2:34:00. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
