Course Details

The Portland Challenge routes depart from the famous grounds of the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, OR. Take advantage of the initial, relatively flat 20 miles before the incredible climb up to Bald Peak midway through the route. Century riders continue west on Farmington Road, then south towards Mountain Home, OR. After a double dose of climbs, you continue northwest over beautiful Henry Hagg Lake before returning to the Nike Campus and finishing in front of the Lance Armstrong Center and enjoying the Post Event Party in the Tiger Woods Center.

Overall, all the course distances for the Portland Challenge encompass moderate to difficult terrain with some steep climbing.


CUT-OFF Times

Participants in the 100-mile ride who do not reach the 70/100 mile course split at mile 45.9 (at Golf Course Rd and Lafollet Rd) by 12:00 p.m. will be re-routed to the 70-mile course.

The 8.5-hour rule will be enforced. Riders who have not crossed the finish line by 4:00 p.m., 8.5 hours from the start time, will be picked up by SAG vehicles and dropped off near the course end to ride across the finish line.

Please note that the LIVESTRONG Challenge staff, in conjunction with local law enforcement agencies, may alter the routes to ensure the safety of all participants. These reasons may include extreme weather conditions and other situations beyond our control. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
