FUNDRASING


What's so special about Bend? Lots of things. One major reason is the hundreds of miles of single track trail literally in our backyard. As you know, trails don't build or maintain themselves. As an all-volunteer non-profit group, Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) needs mountain bikers like you to keep us going. If we don't have the volunteers to do the work, or the tools, signs, safety equipment, training sessions, insurance or a storage facility, the trails wouldn't look like they do, if they existed at all. In the past few years COTA has opened more than 20 miles of new trail and upgraded many more miles throughout Central Oregon via over 15,000 hours of volunteer labor. We also have over 25 miles of trail approved and under construction. It also takes financial resources to provide the support our volunteers need to keep it all going and provide the stewardship needed to ensure the long term viability of the trail system.

Welcome!


YEAR 15 WRAPPED UP! Year 16 next Summer!

Based on your' ability to take on a challenge without support, it would not be possible to "Race" 100 miles.


The community of Bend, Oregon, is unique in so many ways, from endless singletrack and beer to landscapes that are hard to beat. 

Finishing what you start is challenging in our busy world of demands, but somehow we all make it happen. 


Riding your way to a podium or Sub 10Hrs, or Sub 12, 13,14, or DFL, is what it is all about the third Saturday in July each year, and we hope you will join us. 


PS always reserve accomodations first and check cancelation policies each year and prepare to have an amazing time in Bend, Oregon.


Thank you for the support

TESTIMONIALS

Thanks for putting on a great race. At no point did I feel lost or questioning what direction to go. Aid stations were perfect. Best race I have ever done.


2022
I just wanted to say thank you. This was my first bike race ever, and my first century. The kindness and enthusiasm of all the support crews and spectators was such a boost. 


I started riding at 43, and did my first 50 miles for my 50th bday last year - then caught the bug and decided this year would be 100. You provided the perfect venue. My family history is rife with obesity and early cardiac death. Shit like this challenge are what makes it enjoyable to beat back that history.


Thank you from my heart 


Heather 

This race was amazing. first, I never thought i could do it…..and doing it was so much easier than i imagined only because of your staff and volunteers. when i could not think, your volunteers thought for me. when i could not eat, your volunteers helped to guide food to my mouth! also, the course was so well marked, which was fantastic for me…..i am so directional challenged. kudos. i’ll be back next year (NOT something i said to myself at mile 35 in the midst of a bonk), for sure, if only to better my time.

Thank you! It was my first 100-mile race and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the support and the course. It was definitely challenging, but fun, too. Days before the race, I was thinking that I may not make it, but the spacing of the aid stations was perfect and very motivating to keep pushing forward. I know that you have no control over the race registrations, but I couldn’t have asked for a better crowd of racers. Everyone is so supportive of each other. The swag items are awesome, too. Thanks for having women-specific t-shirts. I’ll actually wear this one!

-Mary Spokeswomen“I have tried other products fine, but this one is certainly the best. It brings everything I do to a new level of quality.” 

“This is the best company I have ever worked with. I am recommending to all my friends and colleagues.”
