Camp Lug-a-Chug

Camp Lug-A-Chug

Camp Lug-A-Chug is a volunteer event organized by Go Beyond Racing at Marble Mountain Sno Park near Cougar, WA. Volunteers carry water and other supplies into remote aid stations on the volcano to support a race. Organizers divide supplies and send crews on the hike to stock the aid stations, and participants are provided food after each hike.

The event runs across Saturday and Sunday; participants may join for one day or both. Each day features an approximately 9 mile roundtrip hike into and out of the aid stations. Participants are encouraged to bring a large backpack, snacks, and the water they will consume on the hike. Trekking poles are noted as useful, and a limited number of loaner backpacks is available.

Camping is available nearby on the Friday and Saturday nights surrounding the event, and attendees may stay for informal evening gatherings. There is no participation fee since this is a volunteer opportunity. The event includes a friendly contest that awards a free race entry to the person who carries the most weight relative to their body weight. Participants may experience muscle soreness after the hikes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
