Battle to the Pacific - BIVOUAC RACING
Battle to the Pacific is Race 4 of the PNW State Park Trail Series at Fort Stevens State Park, OR, held on November 21, 2026. The event offers multiple trail distances and a ruck challenge on new courses and distances introduced for 2026.
Available distances include:
- 5K
- 15K
- 20K
- Ruck Challenge (follows the 20K course)
- Ruck/Vest Lightweight Division (20 lb+)
All races start and finish at the N. Coffenbury Lake Day-Use Area, Shelter A. Entry fees are listed by distance with day-of increases: 5K $47 ($60 day-of); 15K $67 ($80 day-of); 20K $77 ($90 day-of); Ruck Challenge and Ruck/Vest Lightweight Division $77 ($90 day-of).
The Ruck Challenge follows the 20K course. The organizer describes a ruck march benchmark as a 12 mile movement with a 35 pound pack and notes that all ruck divisions require pre- and post-race weigh ins. The event is cupless; there will be three aid stations and participants must bring their own drinking vessel. Parking at the Hilltop Day-Use Area requires a $10 daily park permit per vehicle; payment at that location is by cash or check via a fee envelope, with card payments handled only at the main ranger station.
Additional notes: bib pick-up is to be determined, food and beer will be available at the Bivouac, and all finishers receive a Bivouac Racing winners mug and a chance to win swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
