B & O Half Marathon

The B & O Half Marathon and 10k is a scenic running event held in Orting, Washington, showcasing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with views of Mount Rainier. Traditionally a point-to-point downhill half marathon from Buckley to Orting, the 2025 race features a temporary out-and-back course from Orting due to a bridge closure. The half marathon offers a gentle 350-foot net downhill on the Foothills Trail, promising a fast finish and plenty of community support.

The 10k race also starts and finishes in Orting, providing a shorter but equally enjoyable experience with custom medals, shirts, and snacks. This USATF-sanctioned event supports local trail projects and welcomes runners of all levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
