About the Race

The race start at (almost) sea level and follows a steep mountain trail - including a full VK on the upper section of the trail! - to the true summit of Mount Ellinor. Enjoy expansive views of the interior of the Olympics, including the glaciers of Mount Olympus to the north. To the south you can see Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens in the distance. Once you past the second aid station you return on a different route to the finish.
