Whether this will be your first 200 mile race, or you’ve lost count of how many you’ve run, the Oregon 200 will hold a special place in your heart.
You could say this 200 miler was inspired by trail work. After helping out on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River a few years ago, we knew this area was special and that runners would love it and that we needed to create a trail race here. The Middle Fork trail alone is amazing enough, but why stop at a 50K when there is so much more to see and experience? We added in sections from the Oregon Timber Trail’s Kalapooya section including Timpanogas Lake and the little Indigo lake, and even incorporated one of our favorite Oregon hidden gems, the North Umpqua River trail, to create an amazing 200-mile race. We present an adventure that will take you through some of the best of the Willamette and Umpqua National Forests with a route that is extremely crew-accessible and crew-friendly. This race is an out-and-back with 23,000 feet of gain and loss, with 12 aid stations to support you along the way. You have 100 hours to get to that finish line.
We acknowledge and respect that this race occurs on the traditional homelands of the Molalla Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz and the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, Klamath Tribe, Kalapuya Tribe, Yoncalla Tribe, and the Winefelly Tribe.
