NEW RACE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!
There are no words that adequately express how excited, humbled, and awed we are to be introducing the Oregon Outback 230 Miler!
The Oregon Outback 230 is a point-to-point adventure through the immensely vast and beautiful wildscapes deep within Central Oregon. This is a land as lovely as it is lonely; where the ancient volcanic arc of the Eastern Cascades gives way to the sage-scented solitude of the Basin & Range.
There are few places left in the world that offer the sense of solitude that the Oregon Outback provides. You will be woven into the tapestry of birth, life, death, and renewal in a way that cannot be described, only felt. The Oregon Outback is also the largest designated International Dark Sky Sanctuary in the world!
The Dates:
The Race: July 16-21, 2027
The event webpage is live this May 1 and registration opens this June 1 on Ultrasignup!
The Numbers:
Mileage: 230.83 miles
Gain: 30,810 feet
Loss: 31,016 feet
Lowest Elevation: 4,704 feet
Highest Elevation: 8,348 feet
Total course cutoff: 120 hours (5 days)
The course primarily uses the Fremont & Crane Mountain National Recreation Trails. They traverse along extensive, dramatic fault-block rims that characterize the Basin & Range geology. Winter Rim, Abert Rim, and the Warner Mountains rise precipitously above large pluvial lakes and desert playas thousands of feet beneath you.
We are also excited to be holding our pre-race festivities at Summer Lake Hot Springs, a true gem of the Oregon Outback!
A significant percentage of the proceeds from this race will go to the Oregon Timber Trail Alliance in support of their efforts to connect trails, communities, and opportunities in this beautiful part of the world.
We look forward to seeing you next summer for this transformational journey through one of the last great wild landscapes on Earth!
The Oregon Outback 230 Miler takes place on lands significant to the Modoc, Klamath and Yahooskin Band of Northern Paiute peoples
