The 5-mile course stays on more gently graded trails through the Tradition Plateau. Half-marathon and 50K runners climb to the West Tiger #3 Summit, cross a ridge to the West Tiger aid station, then follow descents and undulating trails toward the High Point Way aid station and a Lap aid station. Half-marathon runners return down the Rainier Trail to the finish at Clark Elementary. 50K runners complete an additional loop. Trails remain open to other users during the event. Aid stations are placed along the course with volunteers, food, and hydration; additional food will be available at the finish.
