Spring Awakening Backyard Ultra
Spring Awakening is a backyard ultra and relay held on Vashon Island at Flostate Running. Individuals may enter three distance options: six hour, twelve hour, or twenty four hour efforts. Twelve hour entrants choose either a period of light or a period of dark. Relay teams may include up to eight members and may distribute laps among team members.
The event uses a 4.167 mile island center forest loop. Each lap must be completed within exactly one hour; a new lap begins on the hour and runners who do not return to the start corral before the next lap are eliminated. Runners may set their own pace during a lap but must be in the starting corral to begin the next lap. No pacers are allowed on course; runners may have crew support off course.
The start/finish area, aid station, portable toilets, and team tent space are located in the field behind O-Space at 18870 103rd Ave SW. Participants may set up personal tents, chairs, and cooking gear in designated areas. Power outlets are not available.
A single fully stocked aid station at the start/finish provides water, electrolyte powders, sodas, sweets, salty snacks, fruit, limited medical supplies, and cooked meals during the event. Registration includes event apparel, a custom bib, food access for runners and crew, commemorative items, emergency support, and a marked course. Individual 24 hour finishers receive a custom belt buckle. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
