Oregon Outback 230
The Oregon Outback 230 is a point to point endurance run that covers 230 miles across the Oregon Outback. The course crosses remote wild landscapes and takes place on lands that are significant to the Modoc, Klamath, and Yahooskin Band of Northern Paiute peoples. The route is described as remote and often rugged, and participants should be prepared for extended wilderness travel and nighttime navigation.
Organizers provide a course GPX file and documents with section details and aid station information, including crew access, cutoffs, and sleep stations. The event uses crew accessible aid stations where pacers may join runners beginning at Ana Vista (Mile 56.9). Pacers must check in during race check-in, sign a waiver, wear a pacer bib, remain with their runner at all times, and follow course and permitting rules. One pacer at a time is allowed; exceptions for adaptive athletes may be considered case by case. Pacers may not transport supplies for runners except at aid stations.
There are no formal qualification standards, but the organizer notes a generous 120 hour cutoff and emphasizes the need for navigational skills, comfort with wilderness travel, and adequate physical and emotional preparation. For the 2027 event, entrants are required to complete and document eight hours of volunteer service in habitat restoration, trail work, or activities that support inclusivity in outdoor access prior to check-in.
