Oregon Outback 230 : event overview
The Oregon Outback 230 is a 230 mile point-to-point endurance run held July 16–21, 2027. The course travels across the Oregon Outback, moving from the Thompson Reservoir start area toward the Steninger Track at Lakeview High School, with Summer Lake Hot Springs used as a pre-race headquarters. The route passes through landscapes where the Eastern Cascades volcanic arc transitions to Basin and Range country and traverses lands significant to the Modoc, Klamath, and Yahooskin Band of Northern Paiute peoples. The event area is located within the largest designated International Dark Sky Sanctuary.
The race is permitted through the Fremont-Winema National Forest Service and includes on-course medical support provided by a contracted medical team. Course materials include a downloadable GPX file and detailed course and aid station documents that describe section mileage, vertical gain, crew access, and sleep station locations.
There are no formal qualification standards, but organizers note the route crosses remote and often rugged country and runners should be comfortable with extended wilderness travel and navigation, including at night. A 120 hour overall cutoff applies. Pacers are permitted beginning at the Ana Vista aid station (mile 56.9) under specific check-in and conduct requirements. Participants must complete eight hours of documented volunteer service in approved activities and submit evidence by race check-in. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
