Take on one last epic journey across the Siskiyou Crest
Overview
The Pine to Palm 100 Mile Endurance Run is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of wild Oregon landscapes and the grit it takes to conquer them. For over a decade, runners have tested themselves against this iconic point-to-point journey from Williams to Ashland. This 13th edition marks the final chapter of Pine to Palm, and the race promises to go out with a roar of drumbeats, rugged trails, and unforgettable community spirit.
Along the course, runners will traverse ancient forests, high mountain meadows, and the spectacular Siskiyou Crest. Expect steep climbs, rocky ridges, big descents, and endless mountain views. It’s tough, raw, and beautiful. From the first step on the pavement in Williams to the triumphant finish at Lithia Park in Ashland, every mile feels like history in the making. Pine to Palm is old school and homegrown, yet full of heart, joy, and chocolate milk at the finish.
Course
The Pine to Palm 100M begins in Williams, climbing immediately into rugged mountain terrain. Runners take on a massive ascent up Greyback Mountain before cruising ridges, dipping into valleys, and tracing the wild spine of the Siskiyou Crest. The course is remote and challenging with steep climbs, exposed ridgelines, and technical descents. Along the way, runners will find stunning views of peaks like Wagner Butte, alpine lakes including Acorn Woman Lakes, and long sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. Aid stations, crew access, and pacer points are strategically placed to support this demanding point-to-point journey.
This race is built on the ethos of adventure and respect for the mountains. Expect rugged terrain, changing weather, and the kind of challenge that will stick with you for life.
