One Step Closer
Seattle, United States • 15 Aug 2026
One Step Closer is a summer endurance event held at Lincoln Park in Seattle, Washington. Created by Orca Running in partnership with Evergreen Trail Runs, it features a 2-mile loop that participants repeat for as long as they choose within four options: 3, 6, 12, or 18 hours. All runners finish together at the end with a finish-line party.
The race is described as part whale, part trail, offering surprisingly diverse scenery for its size. It combines trail running with a festive, community atmosphere as participants push toward new steps. The looped format keeps the course compact and spectator-friendly.
