About the event
We've moved the race next door due to some new permitting restrictions - but are excited to announce the new venue - Cultus Lake. Another one of the jewel lakes in the high Cascades, Cultus is surrounded by singletrack, cultus mountain and lots of small alpine ponds. A perfect backdrop for a mid summer race! Cultus is only 15 miles from Elk so the terrain and feel will be almost identical, and the singletrack mountain biking is actually better! Come join us! Single and Tandem kayaks available for rent - let us know if you need one!)
Cultus lake played host to one of our early area adventure races nearly a decade ago, and its natural splendor and classic Cascade terrain brings us back again and again for our team’s training. This year’s race will mimic one of Team Bend Racing’s personal training courses and is sure to pack…
