The Bigfoot 20 Mile is a trail race on the southwestern side of Mount St. Helens. The course begins at Marble Mountain Sno Park and follows single-track trails across volcanic terrain created by the 1980 eruption.

Event logistics noted by the organizer include a 9 hour cutoff. Examples of scheduled race dates include August 14, 2026 and August 13, 2027.
