Course and logistics
Distances:
- 1.3 miles loop per lap (combination of paved and unpaved surfaces)
- about 3.7 miles out-and-back for Last Runner Standing, with about 1,000 ft elevation gain per summit
The loop includes roughly 100 feet of elevation gain (via steps), a historic World War II bunker, and mixed hard and soft surfaces. The course passes coastal views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, evergreen forest, and mossy trails. Race central is an enclosed picnic pavilion with a fireplace. Aid station provisions include a fully stocked aid station with night-time food, and a limited first-come, first-serve area for personal aid stations intended for breaks under one hour. Electronic timing with bib/chip is used and only full laps count. During dark hours participants are required to carry a light source; pets are not allowed and headphones are strongly discouraged. Camping is recommended and organizers will coordinate overflow camping if campsite reservations fill. The refund policy states no refunds or deferrals; transfers are allowed until three days before the race, and a race cancellation would offer a free transfer to the next year or an 80% refund.
