S.O.B. WildflowersJoin us on July 14, 2012 high above the Rogue Valley for the 14th annual Siskiyou Out Back Trail Run (the SOB)! Choose either our 50K, 15K, or our NEW 50 Mile distance. Register early as we expect our events to fill quickly again this year. We limit our registration to 325 in the 50K, 225 in the 15K, and 100 in the 50 mile. Please note that the new 50 Mile will not be scored as part of the Oregon Trail Series in 2012.

Our 3 runs begin and end at the Mt. Ashland Lodge at an altitude of 6500 feet. From there the courses meander along the Pacific Crest Trail with breathtaking views of Mt. Shasta, Mt McLaughlin, and the Siskiyou and Cascade mountain ranges. The total course elevation for the 50K is about 4200 feet. The new 50 mile will feature about 7000 feet of climbing.

The 50K and 15K have low base rates which allow for optional t-shirt purchase. The 50K registration is $47 and the 15K is $17. The 50 mile is $90 which includes our tshirt. All entries include cowbells to the top 3 finishers in each age group (for all races!), finisher medallions, rockin' finisher SWAG, to say nothing of what you'll find on the course itself: sweet single track, friendly volunteers, well stocked aid stations, dust, rocks, roots, and plenty of sunshine. Plus the 50mile and 50K racers will be treated to a hot feast at the finish line. 15K runners and non-runners can purchase the meal separately, or at the finish, for $10. Other registration options for the 50K and 15K include the purchase our our North Face t-shirt (both men's and women's sizing) for $15. Additionally, all racers may purchase one of our cool race mugs for $22. These options are only available until June 1st.

The SOB is the fourth race in the Oregon Trail Ultramarathon Series and is a benefit for the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the Ashland Watershed Trails Plan.

If you cannot run for any reason, please know that your entry is going to a good cause as a donation to the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the Ashland Watershed Master Trails Plan. Unless by prior arrangement with the race directors, the tshirt and mug must be picked up on race day. Any not picked up by the end of the race will be sold to attendees.
