Big Hurt

Big Hurt is a multileg endurance event in Port Angeles on the North Olympic Peninsula. The event combines mountain biking, kayaking, road cycling and a 10K run with race central at Pebble Beach Park. All transitions for the nonremote legs occur at the same park. Music and a beer garden are offered at the park during the event.

The course includes a remote mountain bike start on the Foothills Trail system that finishes at Pebble Beach Park. The other legs start and finish from the park and use local waterways, rural roads and the Waterfront Trail.

Distances:

• Leg 1: Mountain Bike (16 miles, Foothills Trail to Pebble Beach Park)
• Leg 2: Kayak (2.6 miles in Port Angeles Harbor)
• Leg 3: Road Bike (30 miles on rural roads of Clallam County)
• Leg 4: 10K Run (out and back on the Waterfront Trail)

The event is open to participants age 15 and over. Competitors may enter solo in the Iron Division or as relay teams of two to four. Team categories include Tandem, Team, Masters Team, First Responders Team and High School Team. Registration is limited to 75 Iron Division competitors and 75 teams. There is a seven hour time limit.

Prizes are awarded for first through third place in each registration category and recipients must be present to receive awards. A portion of proceeds is donated to local nonprofit groups that support trails and youth programs. Entry fees vary by division and registration date, with lower rates for early registration.
