Hellz Bellz Ultra
The Hellz Bellz Ultra is a trail running event in Yacolt, WA scheduled for July 5, 2026. Distances offered include:
- 50 miles
- 50K
- Purgatory Trail Marathon
The event starts in the town of Yacolt. Packet pick up and check in are located at Yacolt Recreation Park. Participants are escorted about 2 miles to Moulton Falls Regional Park before the course moves onto the trails.
The route climbs Bells Mountain and passes through clear cuts, stream crossings, and sections with views of Mt St Helens. Around the ten mile mark the course reaches the Yacolt Burn aid station. From there the route follows a counterclockwise loop on the Tarbell Trail of about 22 miles with technical climbs and waterfalls, then returns to Yacolt Burn before the final descent on Bells Mountain toward the finish where runners ring a bell.
There are four aid stations in total, including Grouse Vista (approx mile 17) and Tarbell (approx mile 27). One small drop bag is allowed and will be held at the Yacolt Burn aid station. Tent camping is available at Yacolt Recreation Park the night before the event. Permits are pending and the field is capped at 120 runners.
