    About

    Event Overview

    Who doesn’t love to cram into a vehicle in the wee early morning hours with run gear, snacks and your friends in anticipation of the van becoming more rancid as the day goes on? (BIG TIP! Ziploc bags for sweaty clothes). Adventures await you as you climb in the vehicle like clowns at the circus.

    Teams of 2, 3, 4 or 6 runners will compete to win the coveted RR spikes for each award category. What’s better than that? EVERYONE is a winner with the reward of a craft beer garden and finish line food at the finish line. Look up to see the stunner of Mount Rainer. Get a mug shot with our famous bell stand with that gem in the background. Feel free to lay down and rehash stories of the epic relay adventure that started from the base of Mount Rainier to the cool, grassy waterfront of Tacoma you are now resting on. Put your feet up. You deserve it.

    Course Description & Map

    Runners enjoy the journey from the majestic base of Mount Rainier to the stunning waterfront of Tacoma on Ruston Way. You're invited to celebrate National Trails Day with us! Relay runners will commemorate the old railroad by passing through bell stands in each town along the way to the Salish Sea. Runners will traverse gorgeous forests, pass through historic Washington towns and cites, finishing the run along a beautiful waterfront park with a view of Mt. Rainier. The downhill course is a runners dream. We look forward to having you join us!
