Race Weekend Logistics & Information
CAMPING: OHA has reserved the USFS Lost Lake Group for the families of racers and volunteers to camp Saturday night before the race. There are also individual camp sites available on a first come, first serve basis for $15 per night.
LOCATION: All Trail Race related events begin and end at the Lost Lake Group Camp
ALL RECREATION LEVELS WELCOME: We encourage people of all recreation levels to join the event: competitive runners, recreational runners, joggers and walkers!
7MILE WALKERS: If you would like to WALK the ENTIRE 7mi course & have your experience UNTIMED please register for the 7 Mile WALKERS event. This will allow the walkers to complete the course with adequate time to enjoy the trail, the post-race festivities & ensure we know who is on the course. If you plan on doing a combination of walking & jogging, sign up for the 7mi race to get your experience timed.
AID & WATER STATIONS: An aid station will be located at the group camp. Water stations will be at the group camp and the top of strawberry mountain. Volunteers with radios will be located at critical locations throughout the course.
VOLUNTEERS: We are always looking for volunteers for race weekend. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please reach out to: getlost@okanoganhighlands.org

About The Lost Lake Area
The Lost Lake area offers a medium sized lake with scenic views, forested mountains and a few hiking trails. The surrounding area has clean streams and diverse forests that support an abundance of wildlife, including deer, porcupine, black bear, cougar, native fish, common loon, bald eagles, and migratory birds. Endangered and threatened species, including gray wolves and Canada lynx, also find havens in nearby ecosystems. Lost Lake offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, and enjoy a long list of outdoor recreational activities. Anglers enjoy boat fishing (with an electric motor only) for rainbow and triploid eastern brook. A boat ramp is available in the campground
In January 2010, Okanogan Highlands Alliance responded to an extraordinary opportunity, purchasing 38 acres of wetland and 27 acres of adjacent forestland on the south end of Lost Lake. The Lost Lake property, with its abundant plant and wildlife, will be restored where necessary and preserved in perpetuity. OHA is proud that the 11mi race and the 1k kids fun run get to experience the trails on this property.
