Orcas Island 100 Miler : Olga, Washington
The Orcas Island 100 Miler is a trail running event held on Orcas Island with a 100 mile course composed of four 25 mile loops. The route runs through old growth forest and mostly single track trail, with steep climbs and panoramic views of neighboring islands, mountains, and Puget Sound. The start and finish are based at Camp Moran in Moran State Park.
The course lists roughly 26,000 feet of elevation gain and a 36 hour overall cutoff. Runners encounter a series of stocked aid stations and four main aid stations that repeat each loop; aid stations offer water, electrolyte drink, snacks, hot broth, and a variety of hot and cold food. Drop bags are allowed at the main stations. Pacers are permitted beginning at mile 25 with specific rules about where and when they may join and what they may carry. Crew access is allowed at many aid stations but is restricted on the first loop.
Entrants must meet qualifying requirements from prior trail events and perform a day of volunteer trail work or submit a minimum donation. All finishers receive a brass belt buckle and all entrants receive a hoodie. An optional Tower Club requires climbing the Mt Constitution tower on each loop for a special award. Organizers note that travel to the event requires a ferry reservation to reach the island. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
