Oregon Cascades
Qualifier status per the 2026 lists
Founded in 2021 by Alpine Running, Oregon Cascades 100 runs point-to-point from Bend to Sisters on 78% single-track and 20% gravel roads, with roughly 10,900 feet of gain packed into the first 100K and 11,400 feet of descent across the full 100 miles. The 32-hour cutoff and Western States qualifier status attract competitive fields from across the Pacific Northwest. In 2025 the race was halted mid-event due to wildfire smoke from the nearby Flat Fire; three runners who had finished before the halt were credited as official finishers.
