A fast, net-descending 50-miler through the Cascades into Sisters on 80% singletrack
Other trail races within 115 miles
A classic point-to-point 50-miler following the back half of the Oregon Cascades 100 course, starting at Swampy Lakes Sno Park and finishing in Sisters. The course is dominated by a massive 6,500 ft net descent into town — with only 4,000 ft of gain — making it a fast, runnable race on 80% singletrack. Pacers are not permitted per permit conditions. With a generous 16-hour cutoff, it's an excellent introduction to the 50-mile distance or a preview of the OC100 course.
