A town-to-summit sufferfest through the remote Siskiyou backcountry — downtown Ashland to alpine finish
Other trail races within 195 miles
The inaugural Brink 100 is a point-to-point mountain hundred that begins in the heart of downtown Ashland and climbs more than 23,000 feet to a summit finish at Mt. Ashland Lodge. Launched as part of the SOB festival in 2026, it sends runners through the Ashland Creek Watershed on a dramatic overnight journey featuring two full 5,000-foot ascents, three peaks above 7,000 feet — Wagner Butte, Dutchman Peak, and Mt. Ashland — remote singletrack on the 7 Mile Ridge Trail, the Applegate River Watershed, and the historic Sterling Ditch Trail before joining the PCT for the final push to the summit. Runners pick up pacers near the halfway point before the second brutal climb.
