Pigtails Run - The "flat" run
Pigtails Run is a low cost, low key running event held in Maple Valley, WA. The December 2026 edition is one of two Pigtails Run events planned for 2026 after the 20th edition was postponed due to major flooding. The December event is distinct from a separate Pigtails race that is managed by different race directors; both events emphasize a grassroots, family-of-runners atmosphere and community support.
This event offers multiple distances and limited on-course support. Participants should not expect water stops or porta-potties every two miles, and organizers do not guarantee a race shirt or a beer at the finish. Organizer information for start line logistics, parking locations, and event details is available on the event website. Registration for this edition closes on Mon, Nov 30 at 11:59 PM PT.
Distances:
- 50K
- 50K Early Start
- Marathon
- Marathon Early Start
- 1/2 Marathon
The tone of the event is informal and volunteer-driven. The description emphasizes practical expectations about support and facilities rather than race services typical of larger events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
