The Freedom 50

The Freedom 50

The Freedom 50 is a trail running event on May 29, 2027 in Puyallup, Washington. It offers two distances on a paved out-and-back route along the Foothills Trail, with sections on the Puyallup Riverwalk and short stretches on connecting shoulders or sidewalks. The start and finish are at Diamond Detail in downtown Puyallup, 412 E Main Ave.

The course is described as generally flat with a very gradual incline on the outbound leg and a gentle decline on the return. The 50 mile course extends from downtown Puyallup toward the edge of Enumclaw, with the turnaround and final outbound aid station at the Veterans Monument in Buckley’s Memorial Park (mile 25). The 50K follows the same route but turns earlier and totals about 31 miles.

Aid stations are fully supported and located in McMillin, Crocker, South Prairie and Buckley. Aid coverage differs by distance: the 50 mile field hits eight aid stations plus the finish line, while the 50K visits four aid stations in total. The event has a 15 hour cutoff to complete the course. Registration closes May 1 at 11:59 PM PT.

Sponsors listed for the event include Diamond Detail, Crossfit Puyallup and Tacoma Trophy. All finishers receive a custom cast finisher medal and other participant benefits are provided by sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
