Orcas Island 100

The Orcas Island 100 mile is unique in the trail running world, with old-growth forests, tough climbs, and spectacular views of surrounding islands, mountains, and Puget Sound, but what truly sets it apart is the chance to hang out all weekend on a gorgeous island with your trail runner friends. But don’t underestimate the difficulty of this race! Cold, wet, dark, and steep this race is not for the faint of heart. With it’s inception in 2016, this race has quickly gained a reputation as having an old school, laid back, grassroots vibe to it. Because runners do four 25 mile loops, the aid station volunteers get to know the runners, the runners look forward to seeing the friendly aid station volunteers, the crews get to know the volunteers, the staff bonds with each runner, you get the picture! By the end of the weekend, we all feel like family and we guarantee you will cry at the awards ceremony (at least once).

ALL entrants must have completed an organized trail 50-miler or 100K with at least 7,000 feet of gain OR an organized trail 100 mile race during the previous calendar year.

All 100-mile participants are required to volunteer on the trails for at least eight (8) hours in the 8 months prior to the race.
