The Freedom 50 - Puyallup, WA (May 23, 2026)
The Freedom 50 is an ultramarathon event in Puyallup, Washington, offering two distances along the paved Foothills Trail. The event follows the trail from downtown Puyallup toward the edge of Enumclaw and South Prairie, with a course section that crosses the new White River bridge. The route includes stretches on the Puyallup Riverwalk trail and small connecting sections on shoulders and sidewalks.
The 50-mile course features eight staffed aid stations on course plus the finish line aid and a subtle, gradual ascent on the outbound half with a gentle decline on the return. The 50k follows the same corridor and provides aid stations two times outbound and two on the return. Aid stations are placed in McMillin, Crocker, South Prairie and Buckley, with the halfway-area aid station at the Veterans Memorial Monument adjacent to 251 S River Rd, Buckley (mile 25). A 15 hour cutoff applies.
The event starts and finishes at Diamond Detail, 412 E Main Ave, Puyallup, WA 98372. Sponsors listed for the event include Diamond Detail, Crossfit Puyallup and Tacoma Trophy. Participant benefits noted by the organizer include a $110 Diamond Detail gift certificate for each runner, one month of free Crossfit Puyallup classes, a finisher's medal for all finishers, and early-signup T-shirt availability for initial registrants.
