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.
Thanks to super sponsor Altra Running Shoes, there is a $4,100 purse for the race. The top 3 male and female finishers, as well as top masters, will receive a cash prize:
The top finishers will also win a free pair of shoes from Altra.
There are also many raffle prizes from our sponsors. All finishers will receive a cool buckle.
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 BBQ is free for all volunteers, racers and up to three of their crew. Families and friends can purchase a BBQ meal for $5 (cash only please). We hope everyone stays and enjoys the fun!
The weather in the NW in September is usually fairly stable with cool, clear days and nights. However, as with any mountain race, the weather can be, uh, unpredictable so pack accordingly and check the weather before you leave.
There are multiple campgrounds near the start/finish – Olallie Meadows, Lower Lake, Camp Ten, Paul Dennis and Peninsula. Click here for campground details and here for a map. In addition, the following hotels are located within one hour of the start.
From Salem – The best route from the Salem area is through Detroit to Forest Highway 46. Turn left just as you pass over the bridge into Detroit. Follow Highway 46 for approximately 25 miles. It is best to watch your odometer as the turn off road to Olallie is easy to miss. At approximately 25 miles turn right onto FSR 4690 (there will be Olallie painted on the road) and the road is winding – follow the signs 13 miles to the Lake.
