Point-to-point-style out-and-back course on the Pacific Crest Trail south of Olallie Lake: a ~12-mile loop out of Olallie Lake, then an out-and-back to the Clackamas Ranger Station / Timothy Lake Dam area (with Pinheads, Warm Springs, Red Wolf, Clackamas and Little Crater Lake aid stations each visited twice, outbound and again on the return), then a final leg via Olallie Meadows back to the Olallie Lake finish.
Officially branded "Mountain Lakes 100" but the race states the actual course is 101 miles ("This race is 101 miles ... Trust us, you'll run 101 miles"); the aid-station chart's own cumulative distance to the finish is 101.3 mi, which is what is recorded as both published and canonical distance here. 96 of the 101 miles are single-track, 5 miles jeep/gravel road. Recorded as out_and_back because that is the dominant, defining structure (recurring stations). Earphones are allowed but restricted to one ear only (Go Beyond Racing rules, race-wide).
A 101-mile point-to-point-and-back style ultramarathon on the Pacific Crest Trail south of Olallie Lake, Oregon, starting and finishing at Olallie Lake Resort and running between Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood.
The Olallie Lake start/finish area was burned in the 2020 Lionshead Fire and was unavailable for the 2021 and 2022 editions, which used a different venue; the race returned to Olallie Lake for a modified loop of the original route in 2023.

3 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
