Olympic Mountains

The Olympic Mountains race takes runners deep into the high country above Quilcene, Washington, on wilderness single-track that climbs well above the valley floor. Two distances are on offer: a 50K (31 miles) and a full 50-mile ultramarathon, both following remote mountain trail through the Olympic range.

Expect rugged, natural terrain far from roads or towns, with the kind of exposed ridgelines and forested climbs that define trail running in the Pacific Northwest. There's no pavement here, just backcountry trail and the physical demands that come with real elevation gain in true mountain wilderness.
