White River 50
Set in the shadow of Tahoma (aka Mt. Rainier), this classic race offers amazing views of Washington's tallest mountain. The 50M race features 10,200ft of gain, ridge tops, northwest forest, and mostly single track trail. For decades runners, including many of the best, have come here to push themselves and run in this spectacular place!
In 2023 we added a 50K option which follows the 50M course for the first 28 miles of the race then heads back to the finish Ranger Creek Campground (aka Buck Creek Recreation Area). This scenic and challenging course has many of the same highlights as the longer course but with only 5,900ft of gain.
And in 2025 we've added a 25K option which will follow the same route as the 50M & 50K to the top of the Palisades which offer views of Mt Rainier and the White River Valley before taking the Ranger Creek Trail back down to the race start/finish area. This scenic and challenging course has ~3,700ft of gain.
