Orcas Island 100 Miler : Olga, WA (February 26, 2027)
The Orcas Island 100 mile is a trail running event held on Orcas Island with a 100 mile course made up of four repeated 25 mile loops based at Camp Moran in Moran State Park. The route uses mostly single track trail that ranges from smooth to rugged, passes through old-growth forest, and includes steep climbs and extensive elevation gain of about 26,000 feet. Weather during the event can vary from rain to snow to sun.
Aid support includes approximately 15 aid stations and four full aid stations on each 25 mile loop. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, gels, fresh fruit, hot and cold foods, and volunteers; drop bags are allowed at the main aid stations. The race uses cutoffs and course sweeps to manage timing and safety, and there is a 36 hour overall cutoff.
Entry requirements include a prior qualifying trail finish (organized trail 50 miler or 100K with at least 7,000 feet of gain since Jan 1, 2021, or an organized trail 100 mile since Jan 1, 2021). Participants must also complete one day (6 to 8 hours) of volunteer trail work within the 12 months prior to the race or submit proof of a minimum $100 donation to trail work. Pacers are permitted beginning at mile 25 with restrictions on what pacers may carry and when they may assist. All finishers receive a finisher belt buckle and all entrants receive a race hoodie. The event acknowledges the ancestral lands of the Lhaq’temish and Samish peoples. Travel to the island requires a ferry reservation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
