Volcanic 50

Cougar, United States • 2-3 Aug 2025

The Volcanic 50 is a rugged and challenging trail race held at Mt. St. Helens in Washington.

It offers two distances: a 50K course that circumnavigates the volcano via the single-track Loowit Trail, covering about 32 miles with roughly 7,400 feet of elevation gain and loss, and a 25K course featuring iconic volcanic terrain with 3,200 feet of elevation change. The 50K race demands prior trail experience due to its difficulty, while the 25K is open to all. Both races start and finish at Marble Mountain Sno Park, showcasing diverse landscapes including boulder fields, rivers, blast zones, and dense forests, providing a unique and remote volcanic running experience.
