The Freedom 50

The Freedom 50

The Freedom 50 is an ultra running event in Puyallup, WA, offering two paved distance options on the Foothills Trail. The course is an out and back route starting and finishing in downtown Puyallup near Diamond Detail and runs mostly on the Foothills Trail with short sections on the Puyallup Riverwalk and connecting shoulders or sidewalks. The 50 mile course extends toward the edge of Enumclaw and includes a crossing of the new White River Bridge. The halfway turnaround for the 50 mile race is at the Veterans Memorial Monument in Buckley at mile 25.

The route is described as largely flat with a very gradual incline on the outbound leg and a gentle decline on the return. Aid stations are located in McMillin, Crocker, South Prairie and Buckley. Aid station support differs by distance: the 50 mile field visits fully supported aid stations eight times plus the finish, while the 50k option has four stocked aid stops. A 15 hour cutoff applies to the event.

Event organizers include Freedom Ultra Runners and local sponsors Diamond Detail, Crossfit Puyallup and Tacoma Trophy. Perks listed for entrants include a $110 Diamond Detail gift certificate, one month free Crossfit Puyallup training, a finisher's medal for all finishers, and awards for top finishers.
