  • 50K
  • 50K - Early Start
  • Marathon
  • Early Start - Marathon
  • 1/2 Marathon

The event was postponed from December 13, 2025 to a date in 2026 that is being coordinated with the King County Parks Department; early 2026 is likely. Registration for the 2025 event closed on December 1, 2025.

Course and logistics

The course runs along the river and through the woods. Organizers note limited on-course support and variable weather conditions, and they state this is not an ideal course choice for a first 50K. Early-start 50K entrants are given an 8-hour finish window, which requires maintaining about a 15-minute per mile pace. The race enforces strict cutoffs and a strict turnaround policy at the main aid station. The event includes a piggy medal for finishers.
