About

This event was previously directed by Gretchen Walla of Walla Walla Trails & Community. In 2027, Run Oregon (a locally based company) will be taking over the event. This event will be similar to years prior, with a couple of new additions, don't miss out!

The course will follow the Whitetail Trail which is a 5-mile outer loop around Bennington Lake. It's mostly double track trail with a few single-track sections. The elevation gain is around 370ft per loop.

Supporting The Work of Trail Sisters

Trail Sisters is an important platform for women in trail running and for building community. Not only have I met other women to run with through Trail Sisters, this event's prior race director, Gretchen Walla, wanted to showcase and support the work of Trail Sisters, so we're continuing the tradition! Trail Sisters supports women~ from women’s safety to periods to equal rights in trail racing, there is no topic off limits when pertaining to women for Trail Sisters.

Results

Results will be posted on Ultrasignup. Participants who run/hike all 6 hours will receive a Trail Sisters trucker hat (there will be various ones to choose from). The woman who completes the most amount of loops in 6 hours will receive a Walla Walla and Trail Sisters gift basket - more to come but think wines, Trails Sisters coffee, gifts from local businesses, etc. If there is tie for most amount of loops, the woman who crosses the finish-line first will receive the gift basket.
