Our main event venue for the Gorge Challenge is the Hood River Waterfront Park located at 650 Portway Avenue, Hood River, Oregon.  

The park features a crescent-shaped beach for the starting and staging areas, great stadium style viewing area for spectators, large grass area for the vendor tents, onsite restrooms, and plenty of parking. It is also a great place for children, with a play site, marimba, and climbing wall, all within walking distance to downtown Hood River.

The start of our downwind and double downwind races will be on the Columbia River near Viento State Park off Interstate 84 exit 56.
