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 and 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 very 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 are not able to use our original course yet, as there are sections that aren’t recovered enough or reopened from the massive 2022 Cedar Creek fire.
Oakridge’s Greenwaters Park is the home base for the race. Race headquarters is set up here. This is where bib pick up and the race briefing occurs, where the start and finish lines are, where pacers can sign a waiver and pick up their bibs, and where the post-race awards celebration and brunch occur. There are plenty of accommodation options and amenities (gas, food, grocery, etc).
