Ultra Fest is the place to play, get dirty, and earn that bling!
"it's such a great course, your crew even wants to run it!"
Run through the heart of the Central Cascade Mountains in Washington.
Epic Views Epic Support. Epic Buckles.
We added onto our popular 50Miler and 50k with more distances to run!

The Courses
Easton firehouse START/FINISH for all distances
Course Map for all Distances is here: https://caltopo.com/m/KE000
Runners head to Hyak and turn around back to the firehouse. (50K runners are done)
50 milers would continue past the firehouse towards Cle Elum for 8 miles then turn around back to the firehouse.
100K would do the same as 50 milers but would run about 14 past the firehouse and then turn around.
100 milers would do the same as above, but would run past the firehouse about 33 miles, then turn around about 2 miles past the Thorp.
The 100' is fast and flat, with only about 3,000' of gain. The 100K is also fast and flat, with about 1,800' of gain. The 50M is about 1,600' of gain and the 55k is 500' of gain. Sense a theme here? These courses are fast, smooth and great PR material!

Ok let's be honest. There is 100 miler going on, so really the cut offs are suggestions so that you do the proper training. We want you to take it seriously. That said, you do have until the 100 miler cut off. Also, you may drop down in distance during the race for an official finish. Running is hard enough, we choose to support your big huge efforts in this sport!
