Welcome to Oregon Cascades 100. Oregon's newest and most popular 100 mile trail run. This point-to-point hundo will take you from Bend to Sisters - two of Oregon's premier running towns - where the trails (and beer) are the best any where!
The race has roughly 12,000 ft of gain and 12,500ft of loss. Don't let the elevation gain fool you...it's packed into the first half of the course making this easy-on-paper race much harder than expected! The Bend side offers smooth, flowing single track in the shadow of Mount Bachelor before dropping onto some rugged terrain as you begin your descent into Sisters Country. The course consists of 88% single-track trails and 14 full aid stations with awesome single track trails and views. You will have 32 hours, 1 minute and 18 seconds to finish. The race is a Western States qualifier!
