Dash Point Trail Run

Dash Point Trail Run

Dash Point takes place at Dash Point State Park in Federal Way, WA. The event includes multiple trail distances held on park trails and beaches. The park covers 398 acres and has about 3,300 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound. The start and finish area is near a long stretch of sandy beach with picnic and BBQ stations.

Distances offered

• 13.1 mi (half marathon)
• 10 km
• 10K Brunch Run

The main course layout is a single loop. Ten kilometer runners complete one loop; half marathon runners complete two loops with a short extra lollipop section to reach the total mileage. Trails wind through forested areas with thick ferns and moss-covered trees. Surfaces are described as non-technical, cushy, and well maintained, with a short section of stairs at the loop start and a few bridges. The park setting also provides opportunities to observe wildlife, kayak, skimboard, or relax on the beach.

A Discover Pass is required to park at Dash Point State Park. Races are nonrefundable; options with fees include deferral to the following year, transfer to another runner, or switching to another Evergreen event subject to deadlines.
