A 55K through the Deschutes National Forest that swings out past Tumalo Falls with 4,000 ft of climbing and matching descent. 90 percent single track under ponderosa and lodgepole pine, with three fully stocked aid stations.
A great step up race for athletes moving from the 50K into bigger mountain days. Approachable terrain, genuine mountain scenery, and an 11.5 hour course limit that gives you room to run your own race.
Start at Swampy Lakes Sno Park. The course climbs steadily through Cascade forest, dropping onto classic Bend single track past Tumalo Falls at the midpoint.
Crew access at Skyliners Aid Station only. No drop bags. No dogs permitted. Cupless event. Bring your own soft flask or cup for aid stations.
