One of the country’s most beautiful 100 mile races starts at Olallie Lake and runs along more than 25 mountain lakes. This race features the best trail running Oregon has to offer – technical and rocky sections, views of mountain peaks in every direction, and 60 miles of luscious sections of the Pacific Crest Trail.
This race is part of the Northwest Mountain Trail Series.
The top finishers will receive prizes from our sponsors.
There are also many raffle prizes. All finishers will receive a cool buckle.
Registration closes at 11:59 pm on September 18.
Please note that there are no transfers to other runners. If you need to cancel your registration and it’s more than 30 days prior to the race, you will receive a 50% credit toward a future Go Beyond Racing race. If your cancellation is 30 days or less from race day, there is no credit, no refund, or no transfer. See our cancellation policy for details.
The all-you-can-eat breakfast (mmm, bacon) is free for all volunteers, racers and up to three of their crew. Families and friends can purchase a meal voucher for $5 (during registration). We hope everyone stays and enjoys the fun!
