Dash Point
Dash Point does not disappoint!
This run has all the quintessential PNW sights: sandy beaches and active wildlife. The course winds through Dash Point State Park — a 398-acre camping park in the Pacific Northwest with 3,300 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound. The start/finish area has many picnic/BBQ stations and is right by a nice, long stretch of sandy beach.
This is a great place to bring the whole family for a fun day by the water. In addition to running, the park is an ideal location to observe wildlife, kayak, skimboard, or just relax and enjoy the sandy beach.
Course Description
There are two distances offered for this race: 10km and 13.1mi. The course is one loop; 10km runners will do one loop, and half-marathon (13.1mi) runners will do two loops. The half-marathon loop has a short extra lollipop section to get you to the total mileage. The course winds through lush forests with thick ferns and moss-covered trees. The trails at this park are non-technical, cushy, and well-maintained; it’s an excellent place to use your minimalist shoes, if you so desire. Did we say non-technical? Well, they are, but just to spice things up, there is a short section of thigh-burning stairs to start off the loop and a few bridges.
Please note a discover pass is required to park at Dash Point State Park.
