- Half Marathon, point to point net downhill from Buckley to Orting
- 10K, fast out and back in Orting on the Foothills Trail
Both courses use a fully paved rails-to-trails surface with no traffic or stoplights. The route runs through the foothills of Mount Rainier and includes mountain views, river air, and shaded stretches. The Half Marathon includes professional pacers to help runners lock into consistent splits and manage pacing on the downhill profile.
Race amenities listed for participants include a technical race shirt, a custom medal, post-race snacks, and frozen treats at the finish. The production emphasizes a runner-focused setup and community-supported trails along the course. Maps are provided for both the Half Marathon and the 10K, and the route passes through small towns along the trail between Buckley and Orting.
