Orcas Island 50 Miler/Marathon/Half @ Moran State Park
May 13 @ 4:00 am
Orcas Island 50 Miler/Marathon/Half @ Moran State Park | Olga | Washington | United States

The trail races explore Moran State Park’s many mountain lakes, wooded single track trails, and the 2,409 foot Mount Constitution on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State.

The trails offer views of the Cascade Mountain range to the East, surrounding islands and American and Canadian cities. You can see Mount Baker dominating the skyline with its snow capped top rising out of the Cascades. A bank of clouds below the rocky cliff as you summit Mt. Constitution and green islands rising through the clouds like rocks in a wild sea make this race one of the most stunning trail 50 miler/ half and full marathons in the Pacific Northwest. On the summit, there stands a stone observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. The tower offers panoramic views of the sea, islands, mainland and the Cascades.

Jun 3 @ 9:30 am
Chuckanut Mountain Marathon & 1/2 Trail Run @ Larrabee State Park | Bellingham | Washington | United States

The course runs almost exclusively on single track trails on Chuckanut Mountain! The races feature several new trails including the Huckleberry Trail and the Rock Trail. The Rock Trail flows between house-sized rocks, fields of ferns, and up, up, up zig-zagging wooden stairs to the top of Chuckanut Mountain. From the top, the run follows the technical, winding and super fun Ridge Trail with lots of peekaboo views of the Cascade Mountains, including the towering Mount Baker.
