Woolley Trail Runs

The Woolley Trail Runs feature three distances: 50K, Marathon, and Half Marathon. All courses are out and back with a few road crossings. Please take care and heed traffic when crossing roads, as there will be no crossing guards. The runs are designed as fun runs with limited aid stations.

Course Details

Each course follows a gravel path with a slight uphill on the way out and the same downhill on the return. There will be aid stations at each turnaround (6.6 miles, 13.15 miles, 15.7 miles) and at mile 4. Runners should plan to carry their own water and aid.

Note that this is not a USATF certified course, so it does not qualify for Boston. However, each course is at least the advertised distance.

Course Information

The course starts a quarter of a mile west of the trailhead off Fruitdale Rd & SR 20 and continues east along the Cascade Trail.

Drop Bags

Drop bags can be secured at the start on race day and will be allowed at all aid stations. Please ensure your drop bags are clearly marked with your bib number and destination mile marker.
