2026 Oregon Timber Trail Grand Depart

The Oregon Timber Trail Race and Tour is an unofficial bikepacking event with no entry fees, no prizes, and no support. It begins July 11 at 6:00 AM (or 7:00 am – TBD). For email updates about the events, please signup here.

The event takes place on the 700-mile-long Oregon Timber Trail, a majority singletrack route that runs the length of Oregon from the California border to the Washington border. This year’s event has two versions. The shorter is about 300 miles long and riders will face the rugged southernmost portion of the trail. It starts near the California border and ends in Oakridge, one of the Pacific Northwest’s more popular mountain bike scenes. The longer version is 700 miles and riders will continue north from Oakridge, making their way to the end of the trail in Hood River, also a noted mountain biking hub.
