Saturnalia
Saturnalia is a trail race held at Squaxin Park in Olympia, WA on 12 December 2026. The event is a roughly 10K loop that starts and finishes at the Reeves Middle School track and gym. The route moves through the school grounds and into Squaxin Park, using much of the park's upper and lower loops, including the Ellis Cove trail and stair sections, and offers views of Puget Sound and the Capitol above downtown Olympia.
Registration is limited and priced at $50 plus platform fees; prices may increase. Registration benefits include a holiday-themed aid station with hot cider, cookies, water, oranges and other treats, hot beverages at the finish, a finisher medal made by Wolfmother Workshop, a finisher gift, finish-line high fives, and on-course safety and medical support. The organizers plant a tree for each finisher through One Tree Planted.
The event is a cupless, zero-waste race; participants are asked to bring a collapsible cup or purchase one at packet pickup. There is no enforced cutoff and participants may walk the course. Restrooms are available at the Reeves gym. Recycling and compost bins will be on site and parking is available at Reeves Middle School while Squaxin Park remains open to the public. The course may change due to weather or trail closures; participants should check final event updates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
