Ezra Blue’s Flight For Cancer
Place
Twin Tunnels Segment: Hood River to Mosier
- From an accessible parking area at the Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead the trail travels over rolling hills shaded by a forest of fir trees, passing several viewpoints on the way to the tunnel. As you emerge on the east end of the tunnel, notice the change in landscape: the final mile winds through semi-arid terrain dotted with ponderosa pines to its end at Mark O. Hatfield East Trailhead.
- 4.5-mile (one way) segment connects Hood River and Mosier, which features views of the river below and a walk or ride through the carefully restored Mosier Twin Tunnels. The two tunnels were filled with rock when I-84 opened, but fortunately survived.
Description
A 1, 3, and 7 and 9 mile run/walk to honor and remember Ezra Blue, and to raise money for pediatric brain cancer research at Seattle Children’s Hospital. The main run is 7 miles this year, as he would have turned 7 on August 19, 2024. We would like to lengthen it by one mile every year after to honor this brave little guy’s journey. The 9 mile run is an option, as it allows a runner to run the whole back and forth trail length, if desired. The 80.00 fee is a suggested donation and includes a t-shirt. We would like anyone who wants to participate to be able to! Even if you can’t afford the donation! Just show up on the day and run/walk or hang with us!!
