The Freedom 50
The Freedom 50 is scheduled for May 29, 2027 in Puyallup, Washington and is organized by Freedom Ultra Runners. The event offers two distance options on a paved, primarily flat trail corridor that runs through the valley.
- 50 miles - Out and back along the Foothills Trail to the edge of Enumclaw.
- 50K - Out and back on the same paved course, turning near South Prairie.
The course follows the Foothills Trail with short sections on the Puyallup Riverwalk and shared shoulders or sidewalks. The outward leg has a very gradual incline and the return provides a gentle decline. The 50 mile turnaround is at the Veterans Monument in Buckley Memorial Park, near mile 25. Aid stations are located in McMillin, Crocker, South Prairie and Buckley. The 50 mile field is supported eight times plus the finish line; the 50K has four support stops. The event provides a 15 hour cutoff for finishing.
The start and finish are at Diamond Detail in downtown Puyallup, address 412 E Main Ave, Puyallup, WA 98372. Sponsors include Diamond Detail, Crossfit Puyallup and Tacoma Trophy. Participant benefits listed by the organizer include a Diamond Detail gift certificate, one month of Crossfit Puyallup access, a custom cast finisher's medal, and limited early-entry T-shirts for early registrants.
