This race is quite unique in the trail running world. These racers tackle the trails in Moran State Park, with each race made up of 400 entrants, coming from all over the West. The course alone would make this race very special with it's old growth forests, tough climbs and views of the surrounding islands, mountains, and Puget Sound, but this race also has live music, great post race food and beer, and the chance to hang out all weekend long on the island with runner buddies. The race is sold out but come to cheer the racers on.
