Description
Taylor Mountain is a runner’s paradise. Located just 40 minutes from Seattle, Taylor Mountain is 1,900 acres of lush forest, beautiful single-track trails, babbling streams and views of Mt. Rainier. Does this sound like a brochure description? Probably. But it’s all true! Come see for yourself and run one of the distances offered: 5 miles, half-marathon (13.1 miles) or full marathon (26.2 miles). Runners beware: no matter what distance you choose, you will have to brave a creek crossing in the first mile. Don’t worry – it’s nothing you can’t handle!
Woodland Speeders
As part of our new Woodland Speeders program, we offer free kid's races at all of our events. Parents are welcome to run with their kids. You can register your child during the registration process for your own race or sign them up later. Distances vary and are approximate, but we aim for about 1K in distance. See schedule below for start time.
Race Notes:
All distances (5M, half and full marathon) have a creek crossing in the first mile. Because the marathon runners complete two laps of the course, they get double the creek-crossing fun! Consider bringing extra socks and shoes for the finish line.
The trails will be open to other users during the event, including equestrians, pedestrians and cyclists. See our FAQ page for more information about sharing the trails.
There will be aid stations throughout the course with volunteers to help, food to eat and hydration to refuel. And of course, there will be an assortment of yummy food and treats waiting for you at the finish line.
This is a cupless race. All runners should carry with them a refillable container that they can run with. There will be a limited number of cups for emergency situations.
