Updated 2026 course maps are available on the registration page. Parking at Fort Worden requires a Washington State Parks Discover Pass and is limited. Additional parking and shuttle service are available from the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, located about one half mile from Fort Worden; participants may also walk to the start area.
