There is definitely something special about this 100-miler. The volunteers and on-course support make this a great first hundred, yet there are a lot of people who return to it and also experienced 100-mile racers who love it too. The course is mostly on the Pacific Crest Trail, running past lots of lakes, between Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood. The start and finish are lakeside at the Olallie Lake Resort and one of the most beautiful finish lines you’ll find.
