Pigtails Run : December 12, 2026, Maple Valley, WA
The Pigtails Run in Maple Valley, WA is scheduled for December 12, 2026. The event offers multiple long-distance race options and is presented as a low cost, low key race with limited on-course support. Organizers note that the event maintains a grassroots, family-of-runners atmosphere supported by volunteers.
This listing is for the December 2026 edition. The 20th Pigtails Run was postponed earlier because of major flooding, and there will be two Pigtails events in Maple Valley in 2026. The Pigtails Run and the Pigtails Challenge are now managed by different race directors but both keep similar community support.
