Helens. Around mile 10, runners reach the Yacolt Burn Aid Station before embarking on a 22-mile counterclockwise loop on the technical Tarbell Trail, which includes waterfalls and scenic vistas. The race finishes with a 10-mile descent back down Bells Mountain, where participants "Ring the Bell." The event includes four fully stocked aid stations and allows one small drop bag.
