Dash Point Trail Run
Dash Point Trail Run takes place at Dash Point State Park in Federal Way, WA, a 398 acre camping park with about 3,300 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound. The event date is Saturday, March 20, 2027.
The course starts near the beach and climbs away from the water through lush forest with thick ferns and moss covered trees. Trails are described as non-technical, cushy singletrack with a short section of steep stairs near the start of the loop and a few bridges. The route is one loop of about 10K; half marathon runners complete two loops with an extra lollipop section to reach 13.1 miles. The course high point is near the Nightcrawler Aid Station at about mile 2.25, after which the route is mostly rolling downhill to the finish.
Aid stations and logistics: there are two aid stations on the 10K and additional lap aid for half marathon runners. Half marathon aid locations are listed at about 2.2, 6.5, and 8.5 miles; the 10K aid is at about 2.2 miles. Evergreen Trail Runs events are cupless; all runners must carry a refillable container. Parking at the park is limited, a Discover Pass is required, and 10K runners will park at Lakota Middle School and use a shuttle to the start. Every finisher receives handmade swag produced with solar power. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
