About the race
Deception Pass 50K/25K, organized by Rainshadow Running, takes place in Deception Pass State Park near Oak Harbor, Washington. The course begins at West Point Amphitheater and winds through Cranberry Lake, park roads, and mostly single-track trails that are rocky and rooty, with some steep climbs. The 50K includes two loops in the Hoypus area and crosses Deception Pass Bridge twice, offering spectacular coastal views; the 25K stays closer to Bowman Bay.
Elevation gain is about 4,300 ft for the 50K and 3,000 ft for the 25K. Amenities include aid stations, drop bags, a post-race party with pizza and local beer, and leashed dogs welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
