Please reach us at UltraExcuses@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

This race is on hiatus for 2023.



There will be a pre-race briefing 15-minutes prior to start, at the start line.


The route consists of a 3.1  mile loop that includes ~350' of gain and loss.  After 3 hours you change directions, and change back every 3 hours.  A sample of the course can be viewed at https: https://www.strava.com/segments/32953093


As in "stuff we all get".  Everyone who completes at least 1 lap will receiver a glass and a medal.  At packet pickup runners will receive a bag of goodies that includes useful swag and a custom Flow Factory cap.  Shirts and other items are available as add-ons.


Top 3 males and top 3 females in each race will receive awards.   Buckles for 100+ miles!


There is one aid station, located near the start/finish area.  During the day it will offer usual ultra foods.  At night it will also offer hot soups/meals and hot drinks.  Hammer Heed will be available.  


camping and other accommodations will be available at the ranch.


  • It gets dark at night and there are no lights in the woods.  Please bring a headlamp for 12 and 18 hour runs.
  • It's April in southern Oregon, so expect hot, wet, snow, rain, wind, and sun.  Seriously though- be prepared for rain and cool night temps as well as sun and hot day temps.
  • Switch directions after you finish your first lap after the switch time (ie. don't change directions mid-lap). 
  • Winners are calculated by the number of laps started within the time, that are completed.
  • As long as you complete 1 lap, you will not receive a DNF.
  • Runners must check-out with race officials if they decide to drop early.
  • There are restrooms at the start/finish area.
