Deception Pass 50K

Oak Harbor, United States • 13-14 Dec 2025

The Deception Pass 50K and 25K races take place at Deception Pass State Park in Oak Harbor, Washington, known for its rugged coastline, steep cliffs, dense forests, and stunning views. The courses traverse nearly the entire park, including two crossings of the historic Deception Pass Bridge, about 180 feet above water. The terrain features technical, narrow, and twisty single-track trails with some steep grades but no long climbs.

The 50K includes two loops in the Hoypus area, while the 25K shares the initial section. Aid stations provide water, snacks, and first aid. The event offers a challenging yet scenic trail running experience in a unique coastal setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
