The Bigfoot 200 is a point to point 200 mile trail run through the Cascade Mountains near Mount St. Helens, Washington. The event is scheduled for August 14-18, 2026 and finishes in Randle, WA. The course begins at Marble Mountain Sno-Park.

Terrain on the route includes volcanic landscapes around Mount St. Helens, long mountaintop ridgelines with forest, mountain and lake views, deep old growth forests, misty summits, and multiple stream and river crossings.
