Deception Pass 50K/26.2M/25K - Fall
The event is a set of trail races held at Deception Pass State Park near Oak Harbor, WA. Courses run along coastal bluffs, steep cliffs, dense forest and sea-level sections, and cross Deception Pass twice via the historic Deception Pass Bridge which sits about 180 feet above the water. Trails are mostly single track with rocky and rooty sections, short steep hills, and a few short paved stretches including about one mile at the start. The 50K and 26.2M also include two additional pavement sections near Cornet Bay of roughly 1.5 miles each.
