About This Event

Last updated June 7, 2026

Event for 2027 has not been confirmed yet… Sasquatch Duro 2027 is part of the Oregon Triple Crown Series produced by Mudslinger Events, a premier producer of cycling events in the Pacific Northwest. Sasquatch Duro 2027 is an adventurous gravel ride that, in years past, was run mostly on logging roads just East of Eugene, OR, in and around the towns of Oakridge and Westfir. Strambecco rates Sasquatch as one of the Best Gravel Events in the Northwest and Oregon.

Unfortunately, the 2024 event was cancelled due to fire danger; however, typically, there are three routes to select, and the top three awards are given to winners in all ten age groups. Although the routes for this year’s event have not been announced, you can use the following as a rough guide. The Monster Squatch is 54 miles and has a gain of 7,100+ feet of elevation. Big Squatch is a loop of 47 miles and nearly 6,700 feet elevation gain. Little Squatch is the shortest option, with 32 miles and almost 4,500 feet of elevation gain. There are Aid Stations along the way with hydration and food-like products from Hammer Nutrition, and the post-event includes a finish party and beverages at 10 Barrel Brewing. The event also supports the Oakridge Trails Alliance, whose mission is to preserve and protect the Alpine Trail system and trails throughout the Willamette National Forest.

Although the competitive routes are gravel, all participants are encouraged to bring mountain bikes to play around the Oregon mountains for the weekend. This area is known as “The Kingdom of Gravel” and the Mountain Bike Capital of the Northwest. Free event camping on site for tent and vehicle, with options for RV at Greenwaters Park.

Mudslinger Events was formed by Michael Ripley, an enthusiastic mountain biker who grew up in Eugene, Oregon. Having been run since 1987, Mudslinger Events brings back a vintage atmosphere to Mountain Biking and cross-country racing.
