Backwoods Run...

• Running-8 Mile Trail:- Running-8 Mile Trail
• Running-22 Mile Trail:- Running-22 Mile Trail

22 mile and 8 mile trail races on lovely single track through old growth forest in the South Fork Skokomish River Valley. Entire course is runnable (fast, if you like). 8 mile is out and back, while 22 mile is lollipop loop. Long course fords the river twice (usually ankle deep), and passes 2 historic trail shelters. Enormous firs and maples shade much of the trail, which is smooth and fast for most of the race. 2 miles of fast primitive dirt road is traveled on the long course. Numerous aid stations on course. Awards for top three males and females in both races. Camping nearby. Free entry for 18 and under. Great place to spend the last Saturday of summer.
