The Experience

The Olympic Adventure Trail Run (OAT Run) beckons trail enthusiasts to the lush, moss-draped forests of Washington State. This point-to-point half marathon winds through towering evergreens, showcasing the vibrant flora of spring, including trailside flowers and the scenic overlook known as the “Living Room” with views of the Elwha River Valley.

The course itself is a single-track trail adventure, traversing Kelly Ridge between the Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. With a strict limit of 130 runners per distance, the OAT Run promises an intimate experience amidst breathtaking natural beauty.

Post-race, runners can celebrate at Extreme Sports Park, enjoying burritos, drinks, and a campfire, all while taking in views of the Olympic Mountains. The event is well-organized and well-marked, offering shuttles, chip timing, race photos, and a festive after-party with a beer garden supporting a local non-profit.
