Not your typical supported Saturday century. Not Seattle to Portland.

​

The Swift Summit 200/100 bicycle race is an event that leaves you feeling inspired, fulfilled, and proud of yourself from the starting line to the finish. A race that isn't a race.

​

Riders are provided a marked course and aid station/control points approximately 20-40 miles apart. In between those support checks, riders can access convenience stores and other neutral amenities along the course as needed. The 200-mile route boasts over 10,000 feet of climbing and features several sections of challenging gravel roads, while the 100-mile route checks in just around 6,000 feet of climbing and has no gravel. Both courses offer scenic views of the Cascades Mountain range and run alongside the Swift Santiam and Calapooia Rivers.

!! NEW IN 2023 !!

We will be offering a 50 mile paved route to increase accessibility and opportunity for all participants.

​

This event begins and ends in Lebanon, Oregon. Participants will roll out in a mass start before being set loose to explore the rolling back-roads and steep vistas of the mid-Willamette Valley. 200-mile riders begin at 5am, and the 100-mile riders begin at 9am. 50-mile riders will roll out at 9:30am. Riders can provide one drop bag, no larger than a gallon size zip-lock, that will be transported to a designated control point by event officials. Checkpoint and course-cut offs will be implemented throughout the day to keep riders safe and accounted for. Please refer to the control point information on the Ride with GPS course maps below for specific cut-off times.

​

Riders are allowed, and encouraged, to help one another with mechanical or other support needs. There is no access for outside team support other than at the designated control points. Any rider who does not meet the checkpoint cut-off, or those needing to pull themselves from the course, may do so at any checkpoint. Riders are encouraged to arrange for a friend or family member to pick them up if necessary.
