About the race
Pigtails Run is a low-key trail and paved-trail event held at the Cedar to Green River Trail entrance in Maple Valley, WA, near the 238th and SE Kent Kangley Road intersection. The course is mostly paved blacktop with sections of dirt and more than six miles of crushed rock; elevation gain varies by distance.
Distances
- 50K out-and-back with a Belmondo’s Reach turnaround.
- Marathon double out-and-back.
- Half Marathon single out-and-back.
Registration fees vary by date: early pricing for the 50K and marathon is listed at $25, later at $30; the half marathon early price is $30, later $35. If registration has closed, late entry is $55. An optional refund guarantee is available through the event’s registration platform; bib transfers incur a fee.
The course includes a manned aid station near 22626 SE 216th Pl offering water, electrolyte drink and packaged snacks; main aid at start/finish provides soup, chocolate milk and additional food. Runners should expect minimal support, carry their own supplies, and pack out waste. One or more port-a-potties may be available at the start/finish and aid station.
Parking is available near the start beside a local church lot. Dogs are not permitted on the course and strollers are not recommended due to crushed rock. Volunteers are used for timing, aid, and course support; extended volunteer shifts receive entry and swag for a future race. Cash prizes are offered for record-breaking times at each distance.
