Salt Creek 24

Salt Creek 24 is an endurance event located at the Salt Creek Recreation Area in Port Angeles, Washington. Participants navigate the scenery of the Olympic Peninsula, featuring views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, evergreen forests, and historical World War II sites. The event is designed with flexibility, allowing participants to come and go from the course as they choose or stop once they reach a personal goal.

The event offers several participation formats:

• Individual - 24 Hours: A solo event where participants loop a 1.3 mile park route.
• Relay Team - 24 Hours: Teams of 2 to 12 people take turns completing the 1.3 mile loop.
• Individual - 12 Hours: A shorter duration solo option following the same loop format.
• Last Runner Standing: Participants must complete a 3.7 mile out-and-back trail on Striped Peak every hour. The course includes approximately 1,000 feet of elevation gain on single-track trails. The event continues until only one runner remains.
• Youth Events: Dedicated categories for participants aged 12 and under for both 12 and 24-hour durations.

A fully stocked aid station is provided, with specific food items available during night hours. Participants planning to move continuously may use a limited first-come, first-served area for personal canopies, while others can stage from their vehicles. Camping is available at the Salt Creek Recreation Area, with options for reserved sites or alternative spaces for racers. Fundraising is an optional component for all distances, allowing participants to collect donations for various charity partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
