The 50M will start at Swampy Lakes Sno Park. Runners will be shuttled from the finish at Sisters Middle School to the start.
​
This is a classic point-to-point 50 mile race with incredible views and great single track trails to make the miles tick by. There is 4000ft of elevation gain and 6500ft of elevation loss making for a quick 50mile race. With a generous cut-off time of 16 hours, this will be a great introduction for those wanting to tackle the 50 mile distance or for those who want to check out the Oregon Cascades 100 course before trying the full 100 mile race distance. There will be 6 full aid stations along the way. The course has 80% single track trails and 20% gravel road.
AID STATIONS
Aid stations will have the following: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Precision chews & gels (30g), Precision electrolyte drink (1500), water, coke, ginger ale, chips, cookies, pickles and an assortment of other items. 1-3 hot items (broth, soup, noodles, bacon, quesadillas, pancakes, etc) for the night-time aid stations.
All Alpine Running events are cupless, so please bring a cup with you.
