More details

Getting to the start

No direct transit to the venue. Bonney Lake has local Pierce Transit bus routes in town, but the venue (a private farm) is not on a bus route.

Start shuttle

None mentioned.

Transit card

Bonney Lake, WA sits in the greater Seattle-Tacoma area, where the regional ORCA card covers Sound Transit, Pierce Transit, and other local agencies and can be loaded at airports, stations, and via the ORCA app. However, Bonney Lake itself has only limited Pierce Transit bus service, so foreign visitors should plan to rent a car or use rideshare to reach the actual race venue.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Registration closes on September 1, 2026, and Entry fee is $150 for the 50K, $175 for the 50 Mile and 100K, and $290 for the 100 Mile.

The timed events cost $150 for 6 hours, $175 for 12 hours, and $290 for 24 hours.

Additional event-specific processing fees of $13.25-$22.35 apply.

The venue is a private farm with no public transit access.

Bonney Lake is part of the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area and ORCA cards can be used on Sound Transit and Pierce Transit,

but local bus service in the town is limited.

Renting a car or using a rideshare to reach the venue is therefore the most practical option.

Times are local to Bonney Lake. Check the latest official information before the race.
