The BURT is a trail running event that harkens back to the days when trail and ultra running was a niche sport for peculiar people who liked testing their limits. We offer distances of 55 kilometers, 110 kilometers, and 100(ish) miles. This event focuses on community, shared experience, and a love of the trails – largely without the accouterments of modern endurance events.

The BURT course is a 55K loop that links a multitude of Bainbridge Island parks and trails, with 70+% (and growing) of the course being on trail. Run through the lush firs and cedars of the Grand Forests, Gazzam Lake, and Fort Ward then take in world-class water views at Port Blakely and South Beach.

Each loop is comprised of over 4,000 feet of elevation with a 'vert crux' of deceptively challenging switchbacks in Gazzam Lake. This thoroughly-marked course is a mix of single-track trails, groomed park trails, and road. A limited number of well-stocked aid stations are provided and will be disclosed closer to go time.
