The Oregon 200 is a 200-Mile Trail Race Around the Diamond Peak & Waldo Wilderness Areas in Oregon. You could say this 200-mile trail race 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 and Bunchgrass sections alongside Summit and Timpanogas lakes, up and down the Eugene to Crest trail and Bunchgrass Ridge, and then a lap all the way around Waldo Lake, with a finish line back in the town of Oakridge, to create an amazing 200-mile race. We present an adventure that will take you around the Diamond Peak Wilderness, across a dam, and through the Deschutes and Willamette National Forests. This race has 33,000′ of gain and 37,000′ of loss, with 15 aid stations to support you along the way.
This race is pending permit approval. Registration will open after the permit is approved. Race is capped at 150 runners this year. A wait list is activated when the race fills.
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 shuttle to the start line leaves from, where pacers sign a waiver and pick up their bib, it is an aid station, the finish line, and where the post-race awards celebration and breakfast occur. We recommend basing your race from Oakridge too. There are plenty of accommodation options and amenities (gas, food, grocery, etc).
