Bigfoot 200 Mile Endurance Run

The Bigfoot 200 Mile is a point to point endurance run of 200 mile through the Cascade Mountains near Mount St. Helens, Washington. The event is scheduled for August 14 to 18, 2026. The course begins at Marble Mountain Sno-Park and finishes near Randle, WA. The route passes volcanic terrain near Mount St. Helens, long mountaintop ridgelines with forest and lake views, deep old growth forests, misty summits, numerous streams and rivers, and a final ridge with views of prominent Cascade peaks.

The event is timed continuously from the start to the finish and is not staged; time spent sleeping counts toward a participant’s overall time. Course support includes thirteen full aid stations, six designated sleep stations, and a light breakfast aid station at the start location.
