Pigtails Run : Maple Valley, WA
Pigtails Run takes place on May 9, 2026 in Maple Valley, Washington. The event marks the 20th running of this race; the date was moved from December 2025 after a flood-related postponement. The course runs along the river and through wooded sections, and finishers receive a piggy medal. The event also notes a celebratory cake.
Distances offered include:
- 50K
- 50K early start
- Marathon
- Marathon early start
- 1/2 Marathon
The race is described as low cost with limited on-course support. Weather on the course can be variable, and the terrain and services make the 50K less suitable for a first ultramarathon attempt for some runners. Many participants who attempt a first 50K on this course choose a shorter distance or do not finish within the course cutoff. Organizers state the cutoff is strictly enforced for safety and logistics.
Registration for the event closes on Wed, Apr 29 at 11:59 PM PT. The information provided emphasizes modest support, volunteer assistance, and a riverside woodland setting rather than extensive aid stations or amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
