Course Details

This is a beautiful fast, flat and scenic 5K, 10K and 15K course – perfect for a PR!

We will take you slightly off the main trail to provide a few Halloween surprises in the Spooky Forest. Also, watch for the course split that initially takes the 5K/10K east on the Washougal Dike Trail. We will have advanced signage and volunteers, but please pay attention. Please do the course that you signed up for, or it negatively affects race results. If you need to change distances, please let us know asap. 

Stay to the right – Be sure to always leave room for athletes to pass you along the trail. Avoid walking/running with multiple athletes abreast as it can make it very difficult to pass.

Speed Bumps – There are 2 speed bumps along Pendleton as we enter and exit the trail. We will mark them but please be very careful. They can be hard to see and can trip you if you’re not paying attention.

Self-seed – If you are fast, start near the front. If you are intermediate, start in the middle. If you are recreational and/or a walker, please start near the back. Parents – unless you know your kid is a cross-country or track star, please have them start at the back. Kids are notorious for starting at the front and then stopping abruptly posing a safety risk for themselves and others.

If your course takes you through the industrial area please note it is not closed, so please be careful and alert at all times. We will have Flaggers en route to help you safely pass any key intersections but always run/walk defensively.

Training & Preparation

Ok, Step #1. Register! That puts purpose to your training and forces you to commit - an important part of getting to the finish line!

Sponsors & Exhibitors

Our athletes – triathletes, duathletes, runners, walkers, cyclists – are active, educated, middle to high income earners who are committed to their fitness while also supporting our community.

Volunteers

This event requires a ton of volunteers so if you can recruit friends, family, companies, churches, or sports teams to help that would be extremely helpful. They will get front row seats to all the action!
