Starting alongside the 50k runners in downtown Puyallup, you'll venture deep into the most scenic sections of the Foothills Trail, pushing onward to the edge of Enumclaw. This extended route offers the unique opportunity to traverse the stunning new White River bridge, the newest feature of this iconic pathway. Throughout your journey, you'll encounter our strategically placed aid stations a total of eight times (plus the final one at the finish line), ensuring you remain fueled and hydrated as you conquer the miles. On the way out, the final aid station awaits you at the Veterans Monument in Memorial Park, Buckley, marking a significant point on your journey. The first half of the course presents a subtle, gradual ascent, a deceptive challenge that will test your pacing and resolve. However, the return leg offers a welcome reward: a gentle, almost imperceptible decline that can propel you towards a strong finish back in downtown Puyallup. This 50-mile endeavor is not just a race; it's an immersive experience along a beautiful trail, a true testament to your unwavering determination and the spirit of ultramarathon running.
