Siskiyou Out Back Running Festival
The Siskiyou Out Back Running Festival takes place in Ashland, Oregon in July 2026 and is presented as a two‑day trail running festival. It is a nonprofit event with a local community focus and includes camping, food, and live music. The festival highlights trails in the Siskiyou Mountains, the Pacific Crest Trail, and views of Mt Shasta and the Cascade Range.
The event offers multiple race distances:
- THE BRINK 100
- 100K
- 50K
- 15K
- 8K
THE BRINK 100 begins in downtown Ashland and finishes at Mt. Ashland Lodge. The course includes more than 23,000 feet of total climbing, two climbs of roughly 5,000 feet, and three high points above 7,000 feet. The route uses Pacific Crest Trail segments, forest service roads, and named ridges and peaks such as Wagner Butte and Dutchman Peak before the final climb to Mt. Ashland.
The 100K starts near Mt. Ashland Lodge, loops through the high country and connects to the classic out-and-back along the Siskiyou Crest. The 50K is an out-and-back along the Pacific Crest Trail with added climbing to finish atop Mt. Ashland and a steep descent to the finish.
Short-course runs start at the Mt. Ashland ski parking area, use Forest Service roads to reach the PCT, and include aid at Grouse Gap for the 15K and 8K courses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
