Freedom Ultra Festival
Freedom Ultra Festival is scheduled for September 5–8, 2026 on the private Kearin Family Farm near Bonney Lake, WA. The event is a multi day ultrarunning festival with looped laps on a roughly 3.2 mile course (approximately 5K per lap) and multiple race formats offered over the long weekend.
The course is a loop that keeps runners close to a single, central aid station and Race HQ. Around 25% of the loop is a mix of gravel, packed dirt, and grass, while about 75% is paved trail. Free camping is available from the day before the event through the end of the event.
Distances and elevation gains:
- 100 Mile - 2,615 feet total elevation gain
- 100K - 1,621 feet total elevation gain
- 50 Mile - 1,307 feet total elevation gain
- 50K - 810 feet total elevation gain
- 24 Hour - timed event on the same loop
- 12 Hour - timed event on the same loop
- 6 Hour - timed event on the same loop
Some events are explicitly listed as not requiring qualifying standards, and the looped format supports both self supported efforts and crew supported efforts while keeping logistics centralized. The Black Barn 200 mile event is hosted on the same weekend as a separate race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
