Four of the best races in the Pacific Northwest...and one in Tennessee.

The Road Calls. Will you answer?

On their own, the Deschutes Double, Race Across Oregon and Cascade Ultra are incredible personal challenges. Together, the three events make up the Northwest Cup Series. Series winners will be announced following the 2019 Cascade Ultra during the awards party.

Race Across Oregon
July 17-20, 2-20

20 years and counting. Race Across Oregon is the second oldest RAAM Qualifier in the World. It is also one of the most challenging. Odd numbered years feature our 1,000km loop course with nearly 50,000 feet of climbing. During even numbered years, racers will cross the state on our 1,000km course from the Snake River to the Pacific Ocean.

Cascade Ultra
or Ring of Fire 6/12
September 12-13, 2020

The Cascade Ultra is a 520 mile loop course which begins and ends in Arlington, WA just north of Seattle. Traveling through National Forests and the Northern Cascades, this extremely beautiful course contains some 32,000 feet of climbing; a great cap to your road season as you transition into Cyclocross!

Deschutes Double
May 2, 2020

The perfect kick off to your ultra season! The Deschutes Double originated as a 200 mile training loop for RAAM and RAW prep. It then became our end of season celebration ride. Now it is my favorite pre RAW training loop. And by "training" I mean "racing". Starting and finishing at The Imperial River Company with untrafficked roads and 17,000 feet of climb, the Deschutes Double is not to be missed.

Deschutes River Valley Time Trials
April 25-26, 2020

The only Time Trial Stage Race in the country that we know of! DRVTT offers three challenging time trial courses originating near The Imperial River Company in Maupin, OR. 2019 will be the inaugural edition featuring a Friday evening Prologue. Saturday brings our 26 mile loop which tests all your skills as a racer. You'll have a few hours to rest up for the Saturday afternoon 8 mile Hillclimb. Sunday morning brings with it the 47.5 mile out and back from IRC to Bakeoven Summit to IRC. Stick around for the highly unprofessional awards party post race.

The Natchez Trace 444
October 2-4, 2020
Sold Out

I first rode on the Natchez Trace Parkway during the 1994 Southern PAC Tour. I rode a section of it again during both the 2000 and 2002 Race Across America. I loved the Trace and often thought of directing an event that traveled the 444 mile length. My opportunity came in 2014 when we met with the National Park Service and created The Natchez Trace 444. No turns, no stop signs and no traffic lights while traveling the longest, narrowest National Park in the country. You have 44 hours to complete the ride and qualify for the Race Across America.
