Plan to bring your own water bottle for the Defiance 50K/30K/15K in Tacoma, Washington. Full aid stations with water and Nuun electrolytes are available along the course, along with fixed restrooms at Ft. Nisqually and in the start/finish area.
After the race, head to the Harmon Taproom for the post-race party, a family-friendly spot open to everyone, including kids and those under 21. Bring your tear-off bib tab for a free craft beer, the Pt. Defiance IPA, and enjoy special food offerings available to all participants.
