Orcas Island 50K & 25K at Doe Bay Resort
The event is a two-day trail running weekend on Orcas Island, centered at Doe Bay Resort in Olga, WA. Races run on mostly single track through old-growth forest with sections that are smooth, rooty, rocky and steep. There is about a half mile of paved road at the start and again at the finish and much of the course is shaded. Average June temperatures on Orcas are around 65 degrees high and 50 degrees low.
Aid stations are staffed and stocked with water, electrolyte drink, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fresh fruit, chips, pickles, cookies or candy, and a selection of GU gels. First aid supplies and feminine hygiene products are available at aid stations. Runners must wear bibs visibly on the front. Crew access to the race course is not allowed due to limited parking; field campers and off site guests will use an off site parking area and shuttle service.
Lodging and camping options are available at Doe Bay including cabins, yurts, domes, resort camping and field camping. Doe Bay requires a three night minimum for lodging at this time of year. Ferry reservations are required to reach Orcas Island and additional vehicle space is released two weeks and two days before sailings.
