The 6th Annual Owyhee Off-Road Challenge
March 28, 2020


Registration opens January 1, 2020
"This was an amazing experience! Great course support, beautiful views, and a challenging but fun route! It is definitely one of my favorite races. I also think that your half marathon course is giving Robie Creek a run for its money for the title of toughest half in the northwest! I can't wait for next year!"  ~B. Campbell, Gresham, Oregon
"This was by far the most beautiful and well supported half I have ever done (12 in last five years.) Community support was incredible. I have been talking it up already."  S.S.  Bend, Oregon
Hosted by the Adrian Sports Boosters to raise funds to build a new track for the Adrian community. Click here for more information.
