Event overview

Little Backyard Adventure is a trail endurance event at L.B.A. Park in Olympia, WA on 14 March 2026. The event offers timed endurance options: 3-hour, 6-hour, and 12-hour runs. Registration for the 2026 races is listed as closed. The event is described as part of a wider Olympia TrailFest weekend.

Course and logistics

All runners complete the same loop that begins and ends at the main park shelter. Each loop is about 4 miles with roughly 200 ft of elevation gain, mostly single-track through wooded trails south of the ballfields. The route uses clear signage and marking tape at intersections. Timing is based on completed loops rather than fastest time; the most loops completed are recognized at an after party and ceremony.

Support and on-site services include an aid station at the start/finish with water, Tailwind, soda, fruit, chips, pickles and other snacks, plus later quesadillas and soup. Runners may set up personal drop bags at the shelter. The event is cupless - participants are asked to bring a collapsible cup; cups will be available for purchase at packet pickup. A tree is planted for each finisher. Parking is available at the main lot at 3333 Morse-Merryman Road SE, Olympia, WA. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
