Badger Mountain Challenge - Richland, WA

Badger Mountain Challenge in Richland, Washington is one of eastern Washington’s only ultramarathons, held at the Badger Mountain Preserve with sweeping Columbia Basin views. The 15th annual event runs March 27–28, 2026 and offers seven distances: 15K, 15K ruck, 55K, 50 miles, 50-mile ruck, 100K, and 100 miles, plus a 50M/55K double option. The race blends a small-town feel with big-race support, including post-race food and devoted volunteers.

A highlight is the ruck divisions, where finishers earn a custom Badger patch. The course features ridges, open spaces, and expansive Tri-Cities views. The preserve was established in 2005 to safeguard open spaces. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
